I've heard multiple complaints about different videos having these problems. I would overlook this if it weren't for the fact that a whole series of steps have now been skipped and there was 0 explanation as to why the code changed.

469 PointsThis does not appear to have been fixed. I had to repeat the video several times to figure out what had happened until I realized that the var_dump had been added and the return had been changed into a variable assignment.
There was no mention of this in the audio whatsoever. I'm still on my 14-day free trial and this is the first course I've started, so this doesn't exactly fill me with much confidence.
