I've implemented the code in this section, and when I go to a url with only a card number I'm redirected to the full url with the query string, but when that happens I get an error in my console Error: Can't set headers after they are sent, what's causing this and how do I fix it?

Just for other users looking, I'll put the fix here. res.redirect() doesn't stop the execution in the router.get() method, since your also calling res.render() at the bottom of the function, you get an error. So it's a simple fix, just use return...
return res.redirect(`/cards/${id}?side=question`);

9,401 Pointsoh and this is interesting, it happens as I'm ABOUT to change the url, before I've changed it and hit enter. I'll select the text in the url, hit delete, get ready to enter something else and the
Error: Can't set headers after they are sent.pops up in my console
