I've been a Rails dev for almost 10 years and the magic is the worst part. When something just works but I expected another hour of work, I feel like I've fallen into a trap. So, instead of just moving on, I look in the documentation for what just happened.

When you find yourself interacting with the magic parts, it is imperative that you comment what is going on so the next dev, which will probably be you, isn't also surprised.
