It's crazy to me that this is even controversial. The fact that I have no idea where code is coming from in a rails codebase is by far the most aggravating thing about the whole ecosystem.
- jaredcwhite 5y agoIt's crazy to me that people think it's crazy to have reasonable opinions on why autoloading/global class hierarchies is awesome. I'll go into open revolt if Ruby ever starts enforcing explicit imports. The Rails Way is what I love so much about being a Rubyist: convention over configuration.
- qudat 5y agoAuthor here. I agree with you that it's a matter of personal preference. One of the reasons why I decided to write a blog post about this is because my team in general really likes Ruby and everything it brings to the table (autoloading included) -- so venting to them would not be as satisfying.
