I guess it's always a trade-off: if you have plenty of time you can think about anything that can possibly happen with the app for the next 20 years. If you don't - you just need the app working. In any case, the next version of rails will probably force you to rethink the current approach and refactor it :) Cheers, Dima. > > - Korny > > On Mon, Nov 29, 2010 at 5:07 PM, Dmytrii Nagirniak <[email protected]>wrote: > >> On 29 November 2010 16:36, Korny Sietsma <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> ... and what happens in 6 months time, when someone creates a product >>> type called "foo" ? >>> >> >> In six months time the application might not exists, be different from >> what it is now and the context will be absolutely irrelevant.
