Experiment to allow users to use Enumerable-style select on mappers to retrieve the objects they want from the DB
# Attribute class would go into the DB layer
class Attribute
def initialize name
@name = name
end
# For attribute == value
# For demo purposes, I didn't feel like implementing other comparators
def == value
{ @name => value }

Idea for Rails form helpers
<%= form_for @article do |f| %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :title %>
<%= f.text_field :title %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :body %>
<%= f.text_area :body %>
</div>
<% end %>

Keep your specs from needlessly hitting the database
describe ThingsController do
describe '#create' do
let(:thing_data) { { name: 'Name' } }
it 'creates a new Thing and hits the DB 3x' do
expect { post :create, thing: thing_data }.to change { Thing.count }.by 1
# other response-related expectations here
end
it 'creates a new Thing and hits the DB once' do
post :create, thing: thing_data
