Imagine discovering this code — having never seen it before —  and trying to work out what happens for non-logged in users that haven’t searched yet. I'd run. Overall, this seems to advocate for moving all your branching logic into one big file. I mean - I guess there could be a situation where I would want this - but it seems decoupled from real world examples and usage. This is functionally, not much different from a function or method with a lot of branching logic embedded in itself. this just changes the format. So I don't see how this is new or better. So I'll share one of my favorites related to reducing if statements that I use with some regularity: before: if user.signed_in? if user.admin? do_magic end end After: return unless user.signed_in? && user.admin? do_magic
