1. Define CRUD. ###CRUD is create, read, update, and delete. It provides basic functionality/methods to our database.

2. Why do we use set method_override: true? ###it allows the use of _method in the form.

3. Explain the difference between value and name in this line: <input type='text' name='task[title]' value="<%= @task.title %>"/>. ###name is the value of the key title from the hash task ###value is coming from the instance variable task that hold the info title ###not entirely sure on this

My overarching goal for Mod was to attain a solid fundamental knowledge of ruby. I came from a non-coding background and wanted that knowledge to allow me to functionally program by the end of the Mod.

For Amara Lovato: I think that you were a great partner Amara, and I really enjoyed working with you. From day 1, we laid out what our goals were and communicated effectively throughout the entirety of the project. You worked so hard on the project, and were immensely helpful to me. When you took the driver seat in writing code, you went at a pace that I could understand and would explain things to me when I didn’t understand. You also pushed me to really understand, and ask for help when I didn’t instead of letting it go.

As the project progressed and the intensity turned up, I felt that sometimes pessimism got to you…that you didn’t think the goal was in reach and you felt that you needed to double down and do even more work. I feel like this caused you to make some mistakes and that some stubbornness kept us from tackling the problem head on. You were totally aware of this and mentioned it to me several times whenever you thought you had let the pessimism get to you. For me, that sense of urgency that

I’m not sure Nightingale explicitly lays out a step by step plan to educate oneself about inequality, but he does make suggestions on how to move forward. Stay vigilant, don’t make it about you, do research and read articles, don’t question a person’s rightful ability to make a complaint, and reflect on yourself rather than ask why if you’re called out. In 2016, Nightingale’s suggestion doesn’t even even make a ‘blip’ on the radical-o-meter. At least for me, none of this is really anything that I haven’t heard before. I guess that I might not entirely agree with “not asking why” if you get called out by someone. I get it, the onus is on the transgressor to figure out wtf they did wrong…the offended shouldn’t have to spell it out with extra effort…but come on…that extra effort could be a catalyst for the other to change their ways or work toward illumination. It shouldn’t be expected, but if it could help make the world better I don’t think the idea of explanation and dialogue should be completely thrown away

#I think that there’s an equilibrium between struggling to teach yourself and being taught material that works best. Having said that, I’m not really sure I’m qualified to have an opinion on that as I haven’t studied education. From my experience, however, building the discipline to research and figure out a problem for yourself is critical. If you are given fill in the blanks or reverse engineer tasks as the whole of your learning, you never have to really reach out mentally to complete your task. When you struggle, learn, and memorize on your own, I believe one is building new, stronger brain connections that promote real world on the spot ability to break apart and complete complex problems.

#To complement this, I think that help should be available from your instructors and community. With the former style of learning, you will come to a point where you might not progress further without help. The help doesn’t need to complete the problem for you, but should help guide you to the right ideas and the rig

##Dan’s story seems a little bit like the movie “Logan’s Run”. A bunch of people unwittingly doing their jobs, mixing in a heavy social life, and then disappearing with hardly a word or any causation. Nostalgic sci-fi movies aside, this article seems more like Dan complaining and sensationalizing than anything. The onus is squarely upon the prospective employee to distill what the corporate culture is (among other things) before accepting a position at a new job. I get it, Dan was out of work…possibly desperate…but come on. Let’s say he isn’t stupid, as he likely isn’t. The man knew what he was going into, and decided to write a fluff piece about some “shocking content”.

##With regards to the content of this article, I think that sample size should be factored into an any analysis or reaction. The man said himself that he worked reporting tech for years and years, yet this was an eye opening experience. Are his claims invalid, regardless of my views? No. Is this the norm for all startup companies? I’m guess

**** Coming from a business background…this article is interesting. Regardless of background, the article is thought provoking. I agree with the sentiment that the tech industry has a profound impact upon the working class of America. It’s undeniable, for exactly the reason stated in the article: innovation is stripping many jobs (low-skilled, semi-skilled, and skilled) with automation while even more manufacturing jobs are outsourced internationally to unbelievably cheap labor a la capitalism.

**** I’ll be frank, I don’t think the problem (as stated in the article, I’m going to remain neutral on this) is the tech companies. The problem is capitalism. In our current economic, tax, and regulatory system business is THE driving factor and essentially controls our government. With absurdley large financial contributions allowed from the business sector in politics, this fact is even moreso undeniable.

**** When it comes to business influence in politics and empathy for the common man, the buck stops at th
