Media Ranker

Congratulations! You're submitting your assignment!

Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
Describe a custom model method you wrote.	The .spotlight self-method returns the highest voted medium.
Describe how you approached testing that model method. What edge cases did you come up with?	I realize now that I did not test any edge cases for that method. If none of my model instances have any votes however, it doesn't really matter which instance gets displayed as the spotlight. Likewise, if all medium instances were deleted it would crash the site but I avoided that by hiding the media spotlight code within a conditional.
What are `session` and `flash`? What is the difference between them?	Rails-provided hashlike objects. Session persists across a user's entire browsing session, flash only persists for one request-response cycle.
Describe a controller filter you wrote.	I pulled the medium find_by method calls out into a before_action
What was one thing that you gained more clarity on through this assignment?	I feel somewhat more comfortable just generally configuring rails backend stuff, which is good because I had felt uncomfortable with it previously.
What is the Heroku URL of your deployed application?	https://bro-ranker.herokuapp.com/
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	Not really sorry

Nice use of view helpers!

Fantastic! This is a great implementation of spotlight.

+  <section class="media-table">
+    <h4>Visual Bros</h4>
+    <%= render partial: "media_table", locals: { collection: order_by_votes(@movies) } %>
+  </section>


This view is already very clean code, as you made a good choice to pull out the media_table, but you could definitely find a way to push this so it's even shorter and cleaner ;)

There's a similar comment for another bit of view code, but there's definitely another way to reduce this code... Just a suggestion though.

+    We literally have no idea how the internet works. We scraped most of the code for this app from StackOverflow posts, and I have actually used the same password for every single website I've logged into since 1998. Besides, the government doesn't even need to brute force your hashes, they INVENTED the encryption algorithms. You really think they wouldn't put a backdoor in there? Tor was invented by the Navy, lol.

Why not use an existing medium saved in the fixtures? (I definitely think that this is very readable though, so I won't fight for this very terribly, but the fixtures are definitely there already.)
