Comment on Poof and then Rails was gone

Comments

I love thinking up intricate software design patterns as much as the next guy. They'll cater not only to the current requirements for my project, but also to all possible future eventualities. It'll allow me to, by simply changing one or two lines of code, change my entire database backend, implement system-wide magic caching and to expose my HTTP service as a custom telnet protocol.

The issue I have with posts like this is that they are decidedly NOT just about thinking up wild new designs. Instead, they claim that these designs are somehow BETTER. Unless you can give me a real world use case, I won't believe you.
