All blogs should be this good.

"By using some regex foo and method calls in the urls.py file, you basically tell Django to give you some default list and show code for your objects. For me this felt really backwards as I'm used to the whole scaffolding idea to produce this effect."

With Rails you generally replace all your scaffolding eventually. Generic views are free crud functionality you can keep around. The auto-admin is more akin to scaffolding except it's much much better.

@Gregg -- Wow...man...thanks :)
@Tantalus -- The rails way feels better for me than the Django way, even though things are usually replaced. The tutorial however, started with you writing all the code and then had you remove it in step 4 of the tutorial. I see what the generic views do, but still...it feels very backward.
