# This probably isn't a good thing to want to do, but it came up for me,
# so in the spirit of helping others with weird problems (and because this
# seems to be documented almost nowhere):

Growing Rails Applications in Practice

• How to use discipline, consistency and code organization to make your code grow more gently.

• As you cycle through patterns, your application is becoming a patchwork of different coding techniques.

  All those new techniques actually help, or if you are just adding layers of inderection.

• Large applications are large so what we can do is organize a codebase in a way that "scales logarithmically".

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.
