Style Atlas Code Challenge

Goals:

1. Provide you, the applicant, an opportunity to show us just how skilled you are
2. Provide us, Style Atlas, an opportunity to understand how well your skillset fits into our needs

What we look for:

1. Code legibility: Code should be simple to understand and read. Comments should be kept to a minimum, the code should explain itself.
2. Development practices: Concise commits. Use of branches.
3. Problem solving ability
