Imagine you've got a blogging app and it's currently generating URL paths like posts/10 for individual posts. You decide the path should contain the post title (in some form) to make your URLs friendlier when someone reads them. I know I certainly prefer to read http://caiustheory.com/abusing-ruby-19-and-json-for-fun vs http://caiustheory.com/?id=70. (That's a fun blog post if you're into (ab)using ruby occasionally!)

And now an example of how I write my ruby code and get it down to the bare, readable, minimum code needed. This is real life code taken from a website I'm building, but I've changed the objects to a blog post because more people will relate to that easier.
