Demonstrate you can create working Ruby code from scratch that uses ActiveRecord to model a many-to-many relationship.

Start with the skeleton in ./source/ar-people-skills. Build ActiveRecord Models, Migrations, Validations, and Relations to model the following user stories:

1. A User has many skills and a Skill can be assigned to many users.
2. A User has a proficiency rating for each of their skills.
3. Multiple Skills can not be saved with the same name.

(Hint: ) You will need to create several instance methods on the models for the driver code to pass.

You will know you are done when:

1. You can create a User and assign them skills from rake console
2. You can determine a Users proficiency rating for a particular Skill in rake console
3. running ruby driver_code.rb results in all true statements
