Day 84 of Flatiron School
I tidied up my app today. I decided to scrub the DB and run a new set of seeds then test everything as best I could. This is where I see automated testing is very useful. I really want to get better acquainted with writing tests. However, I also want to finish this curriculum so I can stop paying tuition. I’m slowly building out my testing resources to take a deeper dive into that once I’m done with Flatiron.

One thing I had to work on was updating the strong params in Devise so my User could register with name. That wasn’t too tricky although I’m implementing it “the lazy way™” which I’m okay with for now.
Day 79 of Flatiron School
I didn’t get much done yesterday so I ended up not writing. I did figure out an app to build for my project. However, I wasn’t able to get much done in the way of getting started. I won’t get into it, but, I was frustrated with last night. Tonight has been better. I’m making progress setting the base of the app up. It took a little bit to figure out how to setup PostgreSQL.
