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
