I love digging through the docs and finding an example that kind of explodes your brain a bit—some piece of functionality you might otherwise gloss over.

If you have two or more render statements in your controller action, you might consider extracting some of the logic into a before action.

In software development we’re often given advice in absolute terms: “Service Objects are an anti-pattern.”

Anytime your controllers start to accumulate non-standard CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) action names, you may consider extracting the action into a new controller where the action can become one of the standard CRUD action names.

Did you know you can set controller-specific middleware in your Rails controller with the use method?

Recently, we were trying to write a similarity(...) query in Postgres, and needed to pass in a parameter into a SELECT clause.
