Learned how to create a factory in Rails today. I knew how to make a table and a model (which I did also), but it was cool to do it at work and in our codebase. Factories are used for testing purposes, creating fake users and whatnot so that we can check that the code works.

So I created the table and the then model after that. I then ran the migration and the two files annotated, which means the model took on the information that the migration had. Pretty cool.
