I *never* finish these things. Are they hard or am I just dumb?

Second, write SQL statements (in your gist) and model methods (in your model files) to accomplish the following:

1. Find all authors with an email address of "[email protected]"
SELECT name
FROM authors
WHERE email = "[email protected]"


2. Find the author who was created most recently
SELECT name, created_at

# Write a method which accepts an array and returns a hash.  Each item in the
# array will be a string, and the returned hash should have last names as keys
# and first names as values.

# WRITE YOUR CODE HERE.  Name your method `names`.
def names(name)
  array = [first_name, last_name]

def palindrome?(str)
  str = str.downcase
  str == str.reverse

#there's a gets.chomp in here somewhere, I'm sure of it

# Technical interview:
-take your laptop
##Questions the interviewer might ask you:
 1. Describe the project you are most proud of
    * get technical, describe the tech you used
    * if you go more than five minutes, you're not doing it right
    * if you have your laptop, offer to show interviewer your app/site/etc (may or may not take you up on it)
    * distinguish between exciting tech (stripe) and not (rails gems)

2. Testing
