Frustration Driven Development
summary
Advocates brutal specificity: write your damn tests because most codebases arriving for cleanup lack them, avoid ActiveRecord callbacks in favor of explicit update methods and tighter coupling that reveals intent, and replace sprawling methods by extracting named helpers (extract method, rename method) until behavior reads. Recommends presenter objects (mentions the modest_presenter gem and Draper), warns against monkey‑patching gems (Resque hooks break) and prefers dependency injection, plus a career claim: pursue what makes work sustainable rather than grind.
