I think that the only problem that static code generation solves is that 
of typing.

I said this in the other thread, and I'll repeat this here. We are 
operating within constraints and use conventions of Rails and REST. Our 
code should not repeatedly state the obvious, but rather show where and 
how we deviate from those constraints and conventions. Ruby in general, 
and Rails in particular are very good at following this approach, which 
we should follow as well.
