Naming two variables the same way is confusing at the very least, and
can lead to hard to debug errors. That's why the Ruby interpreter issues
a warning when we do so.
spec/lib/tasks/dev_seed_spec.rb:8
This test was failing and we could see messages like:
db/dev_seeds/polls.rb:147:
warning: toplevel constant Answer referenced by Poll::Answer
Resulting in the error:
rake db:dev_seed seeds the database without errors
Failure/Error: expect { run_rake_task }.not_to raise_error
expected no Exception, got #<ActiveModel::UnknownAttributeError:
unknown attribute 'question_id' for Answer
Apparently the lookup was not correclty being performed, due to
conflicting names.
"Naming conflicts of this kind are rare in practice, but if one
occurs, require_dependency provides a solution by ensuring that
the constant needed to trigger the heuristic is defined in the
conflicting place."

Why:
Its a really huge script, and conflicts are hard to resolve on forks,
with indivudal scripts its easier to make custom changes.
How:
Following @mariacheca example using require_relative and a file under
the db/dev_seeds/ folder
