Don't trust everything Rails generates for you.
Rails’ scaffold generator can generate large swaths of functionality for your application. Just be careful it isn’t exposing more of your application than you intend.

Woah, hugely helpful
I strongly disagree. I don’t think scaffolds are supposed to be a panacea, or claim to be. In some situations, scaffolds are good, and in some they are simply not!
You shouldn’t use a hammer on a screw… so this is no different. Don’t blame scaffolds, blame people who generalize them to be more than they are… sorta like this article.
I like Brian’s RubyFlow title way more than the article’s title.
