Rails Quick Tip - 05 - The Annotate Gem

The annotate Ruby gem is a big boost in developer quality of life and one I use in every new Rails project. The idea of the gem is to document a specific database table schema inside your model files using ruby comments. This then updates dynamically with each change to the database. Annotate benefits you because you no longer need to find and hunt down how you've already architected the database in your db folder in a Ruby on Rails project. Instead, you can refer to your models, make better decisions around what you see, and verify your models are in good shape.
