You need RSpec installed to run these tests.

gem install rspec
rspec credit_card_spec.rb

The CreditCard class is currently working but the code is in need of some refactoring. Refactor it (ensuring that the specs continue to pass) and when you are finished, share the gist with us.

Feel free to include in your gist a README containing an explanation of your refactorings and any thoughts or philosophies behind what you did. We're particularly interested in understanding what you personally consider to be good code, and this exercise will help us see into that a bit.

from Matt Drance:

Struggling to explain to a friend why there’s no software equivalent to NTSB crash ratings. “It’s complicated” is honest, but not acceptable

The explanation is pretty straightforward. Cars are pretty uniform. They have changed a lot, but fundamentally, they are used the same as they have been for over a century, they fail in very consistent ways, and we've thus been able to make some good well-defined tests to determine how safe a car is in the event of a crash.

Software isn't like that. Web applications may have started to follow some consistent structure, and we have some patterns we follow pretty commonly (like talking over HTTP), but the fact remains that the apps and services are super un-uniform.

That poses a real difficulty if you want to develop some standardized tests. It would be pretty easy to develop some standardized tests for an app that only spoke HTTP and used a RESTful protocol to talk to one specific web browser u

	Kevin Mckeown response which was the longest was, "...corporate mergers and buyouts are not under the
	jurisdiction of municipalities. Some years ago the State of California even took away our ability to negotiate with internet/cable/phone providers over franchises...I helped write the long-term plan that put fiber into every utility trench dug in Santa Monica for the past almost 20 years. As a result, Santa Monica is uniquely positioned to provide 100-Gigabit internet through a fiber network we control locally, which means no throttling and absolute net neutrality...The next phase of the plan is to bring this municipally-provided extreme-bandwidth fiber internet to individual residential households. Over the years I’ve been on Council, we’ve twice tried to establish city-wide wifi...I realize I’ve gone a bit beyond the initial question about corporate
	internet providers. I hope to make them far less relevant for Santa Monicans, as they do not serve us well and show no sign of getting better." This is a shor
