486: ActiveModel Everywhere

Aji and Sally join forces to discuss the different ways they utilise active models in their workflows. Aji describes a new system for working with active models they’ve been using recently, Sally recalls a project where active models could have saved her a lot of time, before putting their heads together to think of new creative ways to utilise rails’ tools toolset to build other active models. — Discover more of The Magic of Rails through Eileen Uchitelle’s Keynote , or check out the GitHub repo mentioned in this episode.
