Five Ruby Methods You Should Be Using

Ben Lewis:

It’s so much easier to write expressive code when you know more methods. I hope that this collection of curiosities helped expand your Ruby vocabulary.

The more Ruby you learn, the more expressive and elegant your code becomes. There are always different (and arguably better) ways to solve problems. There’s so much I still have to learn. For example, I wasn’t very familiar with the Object#tap method.

I think many people prefer not to write plain html because there comes a point where you can’t really improve it, so it feels like it’s getting in the way of what you’re trying to accomplish. But using a language like Ruby is a creative endeavor, and it rewards practice and experimentation. Repetitive tasks should be automated, to allow more time for complex or creative pursuits.
