Learn how to get the most out of Ruby on Rails without making a mess. Create Rails apps that can be sustained for years without accruing carrying costs that make development slow and expensive. This book is a reference of practical tips, all applied in the field over many years of developing Rails apps.

Object orientation is a lie. Reusable, flexible components have failed. The SOLID Principles of Object-Oriented Design still cling to these lies, sending developers down so many wrong paths. In less than 70 pages, this book presents five broadsides against each principle, tracing their history, demonstrating their flaws, and taking their advice to an hilarious degree all to prove a point: you can build good software by focusing on the problem at hand, and discussing the code you're writing, not some nebulous set of principles.
