Super late response, but figured I'd put this here for others....

Correct, I actually never created a pug file for /goodbye

Since you're using the res.redirect('/hello') for the /goodbye post statement, you'll never see the /goodbye page.

I found this article to be fairly helpful with understanding the inner workings... https://masteringjs.io/tutorials/express/redirect

Also, can look up HTTP status 302 for additional information on that status code (its the code for redirects)
