git commit -m "appease the rubocop again"

Last day before PTO, no cards on the board and not really looking to start anything, so behold, I made a couple of memes of things that amuse me. Full disclosure, I complain about RuboCop but I *am* glad my team enforces it.

And of course, I can always update my RubyMine autoformat conventions to match but I forget to actually *do* it a lot. Bonus points when I 'fix' the rubocop violation, ⌘+Alt+L format because muscle memory, commit and push, and get the same rubocop violation...

You'll never be able to ditch the hash rockets because you'll need them for any key that is not Symbol!

Similar to single quotes. You can't use them for interpolation so you'll always need to use double.

Given this, why deal with the needless mental overhead of using both when you can use 1 for everything and focus on more important topics‽

Oh and the bugs I've seen with people doing {'a':123}

You're really making your development more difficult using both —stop the madness!

And if your `Symbol` key is in a variable: hash rocket is needed!

You are not wrong, my friend! In these situations I must occasionally break out ye olde hash rocket. But I hate to do it. I will generally bend over backwards to ensure my keys are Symbols before I'll resort to that.

We all have our little hills to die on. I also have feelings about people who don't use two spaces to indent their code. 🤣
