Streamlined: Taking admins beyond scaffolding
Normally we don’t do the good old-fashioned Sharks/Jets rumbles with the Rails guys, but this one has all the makings. Adrian points out that Django used to do the code-generation thing and moved on, DHH responds with hand-waving and gets in a sideways pigeonholing of Django-style admin tools as only being useful for “content sites”… it’s on now!
And speaking of the mythical “Rails is for applications, Django is for content” distinction, I feel obligated to mention something Adrian said on IRC a moment ago:
Yes, “content sites,” the generic term for “99.9% of the Internet.”
In that light, I could almost be happy with people reinforcing the content vs. applications myth. Django: the framework for 99.9% of the Internet!
