The project files aren't updated accordingly.

I always follow along with the instructor by duplicating the code on my local environment and not in the workspaces. Whenever I cannot quite get the same outcome as the instructor I like to go to the next video, download the docs and compare her code to mine and find where i've gone wrong. The problem is that the project files are so poorly updated. Am I crazy to think that the proj files from one video should contain the exact working code from the end of the video before it?? Whats the point of having a download for them at each video if they're not up to date? The OOP PHP recipe cookbook course suffered from the same issue. Its hard to compare code and it makes things more confusing than need be. PLEASE TRY TO MAINTAIN THE PROJECT FILES BETTER.
