"Choosing the right tool for the job" does not equal "the old tool is dead". Can't argue with that.

The "please do correct me" part was in regards to my characterization of the arguments that RDBMS gurus make against join tables. I wasn't asking you to judge my architectural decisions, thanks. ;) I think it's besides the point whether o

A third table, let's call it "FavoriteRestaurant" would have two columns [1]: a foreign key to an entry in the Contacts table and a foreign key to an entry in the Restaurants table. Yup, you could definitely express a new relationship tha

I should mention that this is from the thread; I pastie'd it in case folks were interested in seeing the leak before they go through the whole thread.

One of the main strengths of Rails is that it allows you to get up and running quickly while still guiding you towards modular, reasonably maintainable code. You can very quickly spike (prototype) new approaches and modules and focus on yo

Actually, arguing with anyone about this is a waste of time. I made one post deriding it, people started criticizing me, so I'm answering them. End of story. I post technical articles here and contribute tips to other hackers every day; I

It's not self-righteous, it's personal. I'm black and I personally find it offensive. And it's not easy to take a stand against it around here - more often than not, criticizing this sort of thing gets you a lot of anonymous downmods. I'm

Fair enough on complaining about it. 9 out of 10 times when it happens, I avoid complaining, but I wasn't able to resist this time around. I do notice a definite pattern with respect to this sort of thing on race related issues -- some peo
