Experiments

A list of experiments we would like to run. They can range from trying out a new coding style, changing some underlying philosophy, a new library or framework, or anything else.

Suggestions

Code style: Leading dots in multiline method calls

The reasons why are pretty well summarized in https://github.com/testdouble/standard/issues/75. In short:

Code style: StandardRB

Let's give https://github.com/testdouble/standard a shot as our code linter. While our Rubocop config is obviously the Bestest And Most Correctest Way To Format All The Things(tm), it might make sense to support a standard solution for the entire community.

Tool: Annotate

It is not a rare occurrence, that I open schema.rb to see exactly what attributes are defined on a table, or how an individual attributes is typed. Using the Annotate gem we can automatically add relevant schema excerpt to where they might be needed.

Pros

• Documentation, yay!
• Prevents us from looking into and searching in schema.rb

Cons

• Excessive git churn?
