rails -g scaffold developer name:string desc:text

This dismissal of technical problems by fellow hackers always confuses me. As a 20-something I'm all too tempted to routinely adopt the "oh, psh, that's easy" bravado, but as I always tell my junior devs, "if you think it's easy, you don't understand the problem yet"

You have a good point, but some problems really are easy.

That doesn't mean they aren't worth doing. Actually, things which are easy to do mean less time and cost to develop, which is a big upside if you are trying to get something done. Which hopefully most of us are doing, most of the time?

:) why things has to be complicated. If `rails -g scaffold * ` solves a problem then what's wrong with it ?

Yes! I agree! This is a great attitude. Good luck with your project! :)

Thanks a lot :)
