8 Common Types of Technical Debt in Rails
A final anti-pattern I've noticed with new developers is a tendency to use gems instead of creating their own classes and database tables. I encountered an example of this recently where a junior developer was building a messaging feature between users. Their first instinct was to look for gems to implement this feature and they found the mailboxer gem. Mailboxer is a fairly complex gem which will build a full mailbox system (4 database tables with 10+ fields each) with features such as inbox, outbox, read receipts, etc.
