    The Problem with Data Modeling (as commonly practiced)

    Every mature MVC application has that one model that’s grown out of control. The table has 20 columns; there are user preferences stored in it alongside system information; it sends email notifications and writes other models to the database. The model encompasses so much application logic that any new feature is likely to have to…
