I have been using scaffolding, but it seemed like if I had an integer field the forms that get generated don't have inputs for them, unless I missed something there, not sure. If this is true, it encourages me to use string fields when I might have used integers. If I am sort of lazy and working on my own low traffic sites, I don't really care, but I was just wondering because people will pick your code appart, particularly if you have a job interview and they want to look at code you have written.
I also tend to do stuff like myfunct(myrec.id) all the time because I am never really sure when the id field is assumed and it's sort of a minor detail I never concern myself with and using the id field explicitly seems like it's clear what's going on, but some people pick this stuff all apart.
