Inspired by previous HN discussion here: https://qht.co/item?id=943597 which discussed how you go about programmatically creating methods in Ruby. This post provides more of the why. (Short version: get more stuff done faster, go home early!)

Unfortunately by the time I got the syntax highlighting working it was already 3:15 AM, so it is unlikely I'll have much to say in the comments. Enjoy the article!
