People are downvoting I think because this is a rather pedantic point to be annoyed by. The tone is one of superiority, rather than pointing out the simple mistake.
Calling a rails function a ruby function is unlikely to invalidate the entirety of the article.
- Walkman 10y agoI know the point is somewhat pedantic, but I just don't really like to learn from people who doesn't even know what is what. Somewhat invalidates the article IMO, but I read it anyway, just with very carefully, trying not to learn anything just understanding the basic idea he/she want to tell. I think they downvote because they are so ignorant I can't even believe it.
- randomdata 10y agoPerhaps they are downvoting because of your own ignorance? The aforementioned code does depend on ActiveSupport (or similar library), but has absolutely nothing to do with Rails.
- Walkman 10y agoThanks for explaining!
