Metaprogramming in Ruby: Advanced Level
That being said, the code and documentation for rspec is generally clear and descriptive, making it a fantastic repository for learning about metaprogramming techniques. In rspec-core/lib/rspec/core/dsl.rb, for example, the implementation is spelled out in code comments.

Anyone have any good Ruby repos that showcase best practices?
Something like that. You almost certainly want to use bundler because it's pretty much the easiest way to add 3rd party libs to your app. (Read more about bundler). Tests aren't an absolute requirement but are a generally considered to be an important part of ruby (and rails) culture. They can be difficult to learn in the beginning, but get easier with practice -- start soon and practice often! (Good rule of thumb: test any public methods of your objects that you define, at a minimum -- a guide. There's also relishapp, which seems to be down at the moment?)

When not to use instance variables in RSpec
From what I understand RSpec creates a class per spec (e.g. #) and it stores the instance variables (defined in the before :context DSL) on the RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup class on class level. The RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup is the parent class of the spec classes.

Show HN: Factory-JS – TypeScript dummy object generator for testing
I made Factory-js inspired by factory-bot (https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_bot), supports Prisma and Drizzle ORM and more. TypeScript is now widely used in both backend and frontend, but there is no de facto standard factory library. I'm developing a web application using Prisma, trpc, and nextjs, but I was struggling with how to write more beautiful and readable back-end tests. That's why I made factory-js.

Seeding the DB: Best approach?
Not sure if you want the execution speed to be faster, or the development speed. If it's development, you can use FactoryBot in a script to generate data easily once you have your factories set up.

How could I prevent resetting the database during the test?
For instance, thoughtbot/factory_bot.

You can’t bribe, threaten, or feed people to get them back in the office
> if you're a bunch of tool makers and you all know your audience of tool users then there's no benefit at all to have someone offended by the word "tool" in your workforce.
It kinda reminds me of the factorygirl -> factorybot [0] story. It was a cute enough name for a technical tool that plays nice among bros, and down the line you end up renaming your package and deal with the drama.
On brand image, I get your point. I think the corporations doing it best tend to juggle with multiple brands and segment their market accordingly. Then yes, an homogeneous, single focus brand will be more valuable, as it also help to push people outside of the target to your other brands.

rspec testing on Windows.
Not sure I follow why this question is related to an OS like Windows, but when it comes to RSpec testing with different users, I would use Factory Bot and define a User Factory and add Traits such as Admin & Non Admin and use them in specs with their pre-defined attributes to what they can access based on your User Model and call them within the specs.

How to optimize factory creation.
The factory-bot gem is used in almost in all of our spec files and it make our set up much more easier than when we use fixtures. Here is the tradeoff, the easier the gem is to use, the more likely you’ll end up with some pain to control its usage. And when the times come to tackle slow tests, the best bet you can take is to start digging into you factories because it’s likely they are the primary reason why your test suite is slowing down

Efate Test Generator Series: Extending the library
Efate is actually the second test fixture library I've written and there were several lessons I learned after using the first iteration for several years myself. The first version was influenced a great deal by factor_girl (called factory_bot now), with a heavy dependency on strings to define and create the fixtures. It also wasn't very modular. You couldn't just import a specific fixture, you had to bring in the whole library. And it wasn't very extensible, if you needed to define custom behavior for how a field should be created, it wasn't very pretty.
