As Shannon Larratt is interviewing Stalking Cat, he brings up a point that's quite interesting to me, and entirely relevant to the idea of privacy and unwanted celebrity we discussed earlier in this course.

SL: "... uh you do- you do go to a fair number of tattoo conventions, and you must experience at least a minor celebrity status while you're there."

SC: "Well, you know, in fact, I've only been to a couple conventions-"

SL: "I guess- I guess it's just every one you go to, they will always photo you."

SC: "Right, and my pictures have been plastered all over the place, and uh, it, in a way kind of irritates me, because these people're making money off of something I've spent a great deal of time doing, and I haven't gotten a dime out of it."

SL: "Mmhmm."

SC: "But uh, and uh, and they're basically using my picture to get themselves famous."

SL: "Mmhmm."

SC: "Or to get publicised."

SL: "Yeah."

SC: "But again, I did this for me, not for other people."

SL: "Mmhmm."

There's also been a positive side to this, as it encouraged self-expression amongst the public, and while not exactly normalising it, it allowed people who needed to do stuff like this to accept it and go for it. (But not those who are doing it as a trend.)

... which have good names.

This implies that those names where the inverse_of cannot automatically be inferred are bad names. I disagree that a "good name" is at all related/dependent on that ability.

What they should say here instead is:

... which have names that allow the relationship to be easily inferred.

Or refer to these names as the "default" or "Rails conventional" names for these associations.

But it is not necessarily a better name. A better name is, quite often, one that is more descriptive and specific.

For example, just because by default if you use rails generate with a User model, it might (I don't remember; can it even generate associations?) create a belongs_to :user association doesn't mean that's the best name for it. belongs_to :author or belongs_to :owner, for example, being more specific, are likely better names. The model still needs a generic name like User because it may be used in various relationships, but the relationships themselves should pretty much never be called user because there's almost always a more specific name that better reveals/describes the relationship.

Esta idea está relacionada con la referencia a la novela Hyperión, la inteligencia artificial que determinó que para seguir evolucionando necesitaba un par que lo confrontara en debate.
