Very encouraging to see tests used more sparingly. I was a novice developer when I first tried this tutorial and found myself lost in the weeds when I tried to follow along with rspec. Understanding the difference between rspec and cucumber probably isn't critical at that point. The tutorial made a lot more sense to me after someone recommended ignoring the tests the first time through.
