Hey 1511,
If you are still needing to require 'pry' at the top of your specs, here's a quick fix that can save you some time:
1. Go to your atom preferences (cdm ,)

3. Navigate to your 'snippets.cson' file.

Background

One of our engineering challenges at NoRedInk is deciding performantly how to show students the right mix of content. By choosing the right cross-section of content we can ensure that:

  1. Students achieve content mastery in the least amount of time, and
  2. Students don't get bored with the same questions.

We base our decision on a number of factors:

  • Student ability
  • Questions students have already seen
  • Pedagogical hierarchy

purgatory.io

Pitch

​ purgatory.io is an exercism.io clone that will focus specifically on ActiveRecord exercises. ​

Problem

​ It's hard to learn complex ActiveRecord and there are not many good resources out there for improving. ​
