Treehouse TeacherI have updated the workspace and also added to the Teachers Notes, if you have permission denied or are not able to write, you may go to View > Show Console then
chmod 777 data/csv/people.csv

Courses Plus Student 7,793 PointsThanks for the answer, Samander. Just have not taken the console foundation course (that I remember) so I have to go on faith that my code works. Perhaps a reminder on how to do this in the video notes, treehouse team? I'm sure lots of others take this course independently of the foundation course as well. Thanks, Sam
