a better way to label a form input.
<!-- see: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#the-label-element -->
<!-- stop doing this -->
<label for="post_title">Title:</label> <input type="text" id="post_title" name="post[title]">
<!-- start doing this! -->
<label>Title: <input type="text" name="post[title]"></label>

Rails: multiple route parameters w/a single model - can it be done?
ZomgMyThings::Application.routes.draw do
devise_for :users
scope ":username" do
resources :things #=> /some-user-name/things/42
end
get "/:username" => "users#show", :as => :user_profile

Break up multiple associations to the same Model by letting the domain lead the way...
# ====== A naïve model =======
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :widgets
has_many :purchased_widgets, :class_name => 'Widget'
end
class Widget < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :seller, :class_name => 'User', :foreign_key => 'seller_id'
belongs_to :buyer, :class_name => 'User', :foreign_key => 'buyer_id'

Trying not to let ActiveRecord leak out...
# This is pretty typical, and often 'advised' in Rails apps today
class ThingController < ApplicationController
def create
@thing = current_user.things.build(params[:thing]) # YUCK!
if @thing.save
redirect_to(user_thing_path(@thing.seller, @thing))
else

Proof of Concept: create multiple, identical, AR models from a single form.
<div>
<h1>Add a thing to your box</h1>
<%= form_for @thing, html: { class: "form-stacked" } do |f| %>
<label>Name: <%= f.collection_select :widget_id, @widgets, :id, :name,
{include_blank: true}, autofocus: true %></label>
<label>Blah: <%= f.text_field :blah %></label>
<label>Other stuff: <%= f.text_field :other %></label>
<label>Count: <%= text_field_tag :count, @thing_count %></label>
