This lesson was really helpful and easy to follow. I understood everything. At first, I was a bit confused about where methods like "be_valid" was defined, but I learned that these are called "matchers" and they come with Rspec. Should we explain what matchers are for clarity?

sounds like a good idea. Want to make a pull request and add a bit of context about matchers? maybe an <aside>? @ahuynh3a

Sure thing!

• Side note: if trainees start from the appdev Rails template, RSpec is already installed
• rails generate rspec:controller users creates the file in a "requests" folder spec/requests/users_spec.rb
• I'm trying to think of examples that could work for most projects. Most people would use Devise, but it doesn't come with a UsersController. Maybe a PagesController for the landing page?
• Very quickly, if we want to test things that are protected by Devise, we need to simulate authentication. Found this blog post and this medium article but haven't fully tested it. Could be good to add our flavor?
