Agree about debugging. To my thinking, though, there are two types of "programming": professional (for day jobs, where debugging, testing, and maintainability matter), and recreational (where the point is to just explore new things and try crazy stuff that no one in their right mind would ever "really" do). This "def" stuff falls into the latter category.

Honestly, I wish there were more people doing posts about recreational programming topics. WhyTheLuckyStiff was one of the last great recreational Rubyists. I miss that kind of no-holds-barred exploration.
