Don't be clever
Ten years ago, I wrote the most beautiful, clever, over-engineered piece of code ever. I was building a REST API for a startup, and discovered lots of repetition between controllers: I was building the same kind of actions and copying code over and over again.

It was a beautifully complex, abstract class that integrated with Doctrine (the ORM that I was using back then).

Ues, I had failed to see the proper solution: a class generator — so that I didn't have to manually copy code again.

I wish I could show you The CRUDControllerâ„¢'s source code; but I don't have access to it anymore, unfortunately.
