The Rails Doctrine
Funny, everything in this post is exactly why i prefer Python(+Django/Flask) over Ruby(+Rails). Too much magic happening everywhere, a gazillion of built-in methods, weird shit happening all over the place, all that combined with all the syntactic sugar Ruby offers.Granted, it might look "beautiful" in the eyes of a experienced RoR developer, but personally i find it just makes code very hard to read. Just my 2 cents.
