class Object
  def dbg
    self.tap do |x|
      puts ">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>"
      puts x
      puts "<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<"
    end
  end
end

# now you can turn the following:
get_csv.find{|x| x[id_column] == row_id}

# into =>
get_csv.dbg.find{|x| x[id_column.dbg] == row_id.dbg}.dbg

Update:

Josh Cheek has taken this to the 11th level here: https://gist.github.com/JoshCheek/55b53e2faa2776d6a054#file-ss-png Awesome stuff :)

I am currently working on LiveForm which makes setting up contact forms on your website a breeze.
