<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">Enrique Riepenhausen did a really good talk on this subject at Scottish Ruby Conf in 2011. He touched on this quite a bit, as well as the mindset we tend to get into 'translating' our customers language into CRUD operations we can do on AR objects, which is, he argues, a bit too low-level and not really modelling the domain at all. It certainly stuck with me since, and i've tried to apply it to stuff I build (though i'm not dealing with AR directly every day these days).<div><br></div><div>Here's the link, but unf. the video doesn't seem to be working at the moment, and I couldn't find a working one... :(</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://confreaks.tv/videos/scotlandruby2011-don-t-build-another-tower-of-babel">http://confreaks.tv/videos/scotlandruby2011-don-t-build-another-tower-of-babel</a></div></div>
