dhh-rails-style
Rails code following 37signals conventions: REST purity, fat models, thin controllers, and clarity over cleverness.
- Applies DHH style patterns including CRUD controllers, state-as-records instead of booleans, and Current attributes for defaults
- Covers controllers, models, views, architecture, testing, and dependency decisions with specific naming conventions and code examples
- Emphasizes vanilla Rails over gems: Minitest over RSpec, fixtures over factory_bot, Solid Queue over Sidekiq, database over Redis
- Includes REST resource mapping patterns, concerns for horizontal behavior, authorization on User models, and Turbo/Stimulus for interactivity

Core Philosophy
"The best code is the code you don't write. The second best is the code that's obviously correct."
Vanilla Rails is plenty:
- Rich domain models over service objects
- CRUD controllers over custom actions
- Concerns for horizontal code sharing
- Records as state instead of boolean columns
- Database-backed everything (no Redis)
- Build solutions before reaching for gems
What they deliberately avoid:
- devise (custom ~150-line auth instead)
