Confident Ruby
Book •
In "Confident Ruby," Avdi Grimm explores techniques for writing more robust and maintainable Ruby code by focusing on handling uncertainty and potential failures.
The book emphasizes the importance of designing systems that gracefully handle unexpected inputs, null values, and external dependencies.
Grimm advocates for pushing uncertainty to the edges of the system, isolating potentially problematic areas and reducing the risk of cascading failures.
He presents practical strategies for managing state, handling exceptions, and writing code that is resilient to change.
By applying the principles outlined in "Confident Ruby," developers can build more reliable and predictable applications.
