I'm trying to plan a deep-dive into the Rails source workshop for next Friday. What do you want to see? Anything in particular that seems mysterious or daunting that we could break down?

Why? Rails is your biggest dependency and you probably haven't seen what's going on in there. There's features you're missing out on entirely, and other ones Upgrades seem fraught and daunting and it's tough to know what to do.

The good news is: it's not that bad to dive into the Rails source, particularly if you have a guide. Once you're comfortable clicking around a whole slew of things open up for you: - You can see the actual APIs you're using - You can understand associations fully - You can demystify Active Record!
