(code snippet):
user = self.find_by_name(name)
This code uses a clever little Active Record trick. You see that the first line of the method calls find_by_name. But we don’t define a [...]

But I keep seeing signs that the RoR mainline developers just totally don’t bother with this. Signs like: it’s not really supported very [...]
