Molly done it again!

Just wondering - does anyone have access to a read-write Rails console? This would be a great idea for junior devs or incoming hires that aren't familiar with the DB yet but want to poke around. I'm gonna float this to my company.

Yep! You can open a write console anytime you want by issuing the command console write Even though its easy, people only open write consoles if they absolutely have to change something otherwise everyone loves the read-only consoles bc they feel "safe" in them
