Something is wrong in this exercise, all registered users, new or old have “Guest” name on the profile page. And why we add new user object in the records array in front of the array??? It shifts indices and destroys the order. When we login with any of the users we get wrong user’s data. Our findById function, actually findByIndex. And we’ve shifted indexes… This is wrong and unsafe solution.

I might be wrong, but it also looks like every single example code in the lesson instructions is missing its closing }); to close off the app.post() …?

How are we importing and updated the records in this exercise? We seem to be updating a db module, but our helper functions and records seem to be in users.js.
