We were getting a 500 Internal Server Error because `find_by` returned
`nil`, but the code assumed it returned an object responding to
`encrypted_password`. In this case, maybe some other status code (like
400 or 401) might be more appropriate, but I've kept 404 because it was
easier to implement and I wasn't sure which one was better.
Also note ideally we would test the controller using:
expect(response).to have_http_status(:not_found)
However, we would need to configure the test to show exceptions and not
to consider all requests local. I haven't been able to do so for
controller tests, and doing so for feature/request specs seems to
require changes in the test environment configuration which would affect
other tests.

The order of the array before being shuffled needs to be the same if we
want to have the same array after being shuffled with a certain seed.
We were using `pluck(:id)`, which doesn't guarantee the order of the
elements returned.
Replacing it with `order(:id).pluck(:id)` adds an `ORDER BY` clause and
so guarantees the order of the elements.
This way we can easily add a test which will fail if by accident we
change the method to use `Date.today`. Until now using `Date.today`
would only fail if we ran specs in a time zone with a different date.
We need to add an ORDER BY clause; not doing so was causing different
processes to show up sometimes. As mentioned in the PostgreSQL manual:
> Because the order of the rows in the database table is unpredictable,
> when you use the LIMIT clause, you should always use the ORDER BY
> clause to control the order of rows. If you don’t do so, you will get
> an unpredictable result set.
