In method `:message/create!`, it’s not mentioned that the line `assoc ?data :timestamp (java.util.Date.)` right after `msg/save-message!` call needs to be deleted. Per reasoning in page185 `Let’s add a RETURNING clause to our SQL so that we get all of our data exactly as it is in the database.`, the `assoc` line is no longer needed and it’s actually bad to leave it there cause regardless of client side login status new post will always be missing the `author` field.
