#standardrb — Public Fediverse posts

Another rubocop/standardrb gripe:

Style/EmptyLiteral: Use hash literal {} instead of Hash.new

Nah, I have my own heuristics for when to use which one. If it's inside a block with braces, I assert that:

# the "approved" butthole syntax
let(:params) { {} }

looks worse than

# ain't nothing wrong with this
let(:params) { Hash.new }

#rubocop #standardrb #ruby

@here_for_code @evilmartians I like #standardrb because it uses #RuboCop but only implements basic and non-controversial rules that help with linting.

I occasionally use #RubyMine for the (putatively) automated refactorings and to play around with #AI integrations, but I'm a #CLI guy and don't find IDE's very intuitive. I use heavily customized #vim, #ack or #thesilversearcher, and #ctags for day to day stuff. It just seems faster to me, but that could just be muscle memory and habit. 😄
