Many years ago I worked on a Rails project where the two previous developers were particularly creative with metaprogramming. That cost a lot of time and extra money to my customer because it was really hard to figure out all the tricks they used. Instead I write Rails projects in the simplest possible way I can figure out. It works and everybody else and I will be able to understand it quickly next year. If it makes me look dull, I don't care.
