I read my old code all the time, my comments about new programmers were based on my experience with people new to Ruby and new to Rails trying to figure out how views and controllers were connected, how models got access to the database, etc. The magic which make the code pretty, also made it confusing. Thanks Erik,

Any with at least a little bit of experience in Rails development can read Rails code pretty well. Although I agree the dynamic features of Ruby (and Rails) should be used with care for the sake of readability. Why do You think only programmers to a project read the code?
