Plain, Old, but Mighty: Leveraging POROs in Greenfield and...
summary
A team builds a crowdfunding product and launches a first customer on schedule; the project funds. The talk claims plain old Ruby objects cut cycle time by moving feature logic out of controllers into an EventProjects PORO (example: 100-project “Pentopia” progress bar), converts slow controller/integration tests into fast unit tests, and tames legacy code via small-step service objects and a wrap class technique for untestable managers (adds logging without breaking existing APIs). Results: simpler controllers, faster tests, and incremental, safe refactors.
