"Useless Ruby sugar": Endless (one-line) methods

Prettier always makes me want to rage-quit. Thankfully I'm at a career level where I usually have the power to dictate it be removed. A formatter that does not understand or allow for careful alignment to make concepts clear is a formatter I don't want near my code.

So you just railroad a potential majority that would prefer to use it?

Companies are not a democracy.

It's part of my job to "railroad" potential majorities that would prefer to do things that my judgment suggests will make things worse.

They're free to do it in their personal trees all they want. But if they commit changes that make the code less readable because some tool is being opinionated and can't be configured properly, their change won't pass code review.
