Look, you're going to go write a bunch of weird, crazy, and quite possibly criminally insane code in Ruby at some point or another in your career. Maybe you already have. I can't stop you, and I'd be disappointed if you didn't at least try, so in this talk I'll show you how to do it without poking your own eye out with the pointy end of a sharpened stick.

- tragically, a repeat offender as a framework writer I&#x2019;m that guy; I just go write frameworks

- introduction; this is our goal; goals are important with DSLs
- simple lambda, no use of options
- slow, have to implement respond_to, have to call super, fairly complicated
- a little bit faster, still not exactly clear what&#x2019;s going on
- faster yet, no memory leaks, a little bit clearer what&#x2019;s going on--not EXACTLY rails convention
- a bad use of open classes, but even if good, there&#x2019;s a problem
- Ruby is the name of the crocodile.
- Smart devs - obligation to team to condense & beautify & DRY out most commonly-used idioms Refactor and metaprogram more to domain, less to infrastructure
- Never again.
