DISQUS

Life is grand: find :first vs. find :all in ActiveResource

  • Shog9 · 1 year ago
    Anyone else find the "Active" prefix used in the names of Rails components a grating reminder of a certain Microsoft theme from the '90s?

    (yeah, yeah, i'm sure Rails has a much better reason for using it than MS did, but it doesn't matter, i'll always associate it with COM BS, the way i'll always associate *Gator with shady adware)

    hehe, the naming does remind me of Microsoft circa the '90s. And Rails doesn't have a good reason why they call it Active*, they just do.

    Does Post.find(:one) work as expected?
