Fucking Ruby... Nothing is more confusing to me than seeing an error about a method not existing but the problem being that something was null/missing.

That exact error is why I only want to work in typed languages now

It's amusing to me that people will say "my code documents itself" while also using dynamic languages. It should be called GDD. Guess driven development.

I love how parentheses on function calls in ruby are optional. Is it a variable? Is it a function? Where does it come from? Who the hell knows! Try to run it and find out, loser
