[Hidden-tech] Rudy on Rails

[Michael Muller]

Agreed. If you watch the videos they provide on how to write, they have a concept called "scaffolding" which I assume is a library / template set that pre-builds in all the work. This is the legos of coding, and while it makes it so rediculously easy to get to first and maybe even second base, to get to third you need to do some real coding, and to make it home you may have to build your own scaffolding, and thus re-enter the world of high-level programming again.

Not that there's anything wrong with any of this. It's pretty damned cool, actually.
