Pretty basic tutorial here, followed a lesson plan fairly closely. Any feedback is appreciated.

Cool post! I haven't seen one on Medium before. It looks really nice!

I love how you kept drawing on the concept of easy wins -- so important!

Could you give a real-life example of a "big win" versus a "small win"?

I'd recommend putting in something about the psql command, which lets you look at the database table itself, or maybe rails c. Drive home those points a bit more.

I feel like you give WDI too much credit here. In fact, I'd remove references to it altogether. Toot your own horn! Otherwise, it just kinda looks like you're regurgitating information someone else gave you.

Make sure you specify that the model name referenced in a controller's file name is almost always plural.
