A horse walks into a bar. The bartender asks the horse if it's an alcoholic considering all the bars he frequents,
to which the horse replies, "Ithink not!" POOF! The horse disappears.
This is the point in time when all the philosophy students in the audience begin to giggle, as they are familiar with
the philosophical proposition of Cogito ergo sum, or I think, therefore, I am.
But to explain the concept aforehand would be putting Descartes before the horse.

This is an extraction from Jim Weirich's "Decoupling from Rails" talk, which explained how to apply the hexagonal design pattern to make every layer of your application easily unit testable (without touching the database etc). It only seeks to extract a single method, the EmployeesController#create method, to illustrate the design damage that's …
# Original Rails controller and action
class EmployeesController < ApplicationController
def create
@employee = Employee.new(employee_params)
if @employee.save
redirect_to @employee, notice: "Employee #{@employee.name} created"
else
render :new
end
