Things that weren’t on my todo list for today when I got up this morning: going to the Apple Store so they can make my work laptop less of a fire hazard.

@thoughtbot @csara they make the tests less noisy but I’ve never understood the value of what is effectively testing Rails works. I can safely assume that if I put validates_presence_of :foo in my model it’ll validate the presence of foo.
