It’s funny how some claim it’s intuitive while others complain about its magical nature.

  "Magic" and "Intuitive" aren't mutually exclusive.

  It all depends what you’re working with. ActiveRecord can get gnarly. The rest of it is pretty easy to understand once you know what methods are called. I think what confuses people is Ruby’s meta programming. The ability to dynamically define named methods makes rails seem far more magical than it actually is. You also can’t tell the difference between method calls and local variables.

  Some people want to get things done and others want to play with legos.

  It is too much to hold in my head at once sometimes. I can understand how it all fits together but the lack of types means I’m holding a lot more in my head at once. I wish I got along better with Rails, honestly.
