Difference between user.posts and current_user.get_stream() ?

Hello Kenneth, in the app.py file of this social network project in flask, go to the '/stream' view please. Is there a difference between the following definitions?

stream = current_user.get_stream().limit(100)

#and

stream = current_user.posts.limit(100)

I ask this, because you used the second option when the user was not the current_user.

Nevermind, at the begginig of the project they return the same, the posts, but later get_stream returns your posts and your followed ones.
