+//Whenever I start a new story there comes the excessive boilerplating that tags along, a series of mini steps 
+//to get you going, one such step is registering your ExtJs controller on App.js, it looks like this:
+
+Ext.application
+    name: 'Fidget'
+    autoCreateViewport: true
+    controllers: [
+        'YourController',
+        'HundredsOfOtherControllers'
+    ]
+
+//now given my lazyness has caught up with me today, I decided it was time to automate that step
+//using Embedded Ruby (erb)
+
+//File: App.js.coffee.erb
+Ext.application
+    name: 'Fidget'
+    autoCreateViewport: true
+    controllers: [
+        <%
+            path = 'app/assets/javascripts/controller'
+            root = "Fidget.controller."
+            controllers = Dir.glob("#{path}/**/*")
+                .select { |file| File.file? file and file.end_with? '.js' }
+                .map { |file| File.read(file) }
+                .map { |file| file.match(/#{root}(?<name>[\w\.]+)/)[:name] }
+                .map { |file| "'#{file}'" }
+                .join(",")
+        %>
+        <%= controllers %>
+    ]
+
+//Now, that controllers array will get filled with all the 129 controllers the app has as of today
