+
+As I said yesterday, there is no perfect solution or approach for every situation.
+
+However, when doing test-driven development, there is a best solution.
+
+The simplest thing that gets a failing test to pass.
+
+Whether it's hard-coding a return value or putting the initial logic in a Controller, that's the objective.
+
+Once the test is passing, you can refactor the code or continue writing tests, which will each have their own best solution.
