Let's Standardize Rails, Once and For All!

Four years ago, I arbitrarily configured every RuboCop rule and published it as a gem called "standard". 135 releases later, feedback from the community has gradually transformed Standard into a linter & formatter ruleset that most Rubyists can get behind. Today, Standard is delivering on its promise: helping teams stay focused on their work instead of arguing over syntax. The time has come to once again configure the unconfigurable by creating a standard-rails based on rubocop-rails. But this time, we'll skip the years of debating rules on GitHub. Instead, we're holding a community straw poll at RailsConf! Join us for a town hall-style event where we'll review what each rubocop-rails rule does, hear its pros and cons, and put it to a vote. We'll enshrine the consensus picks in the first public release of standard-rails. By showing up, you'll not only be establishing conventions to promote safe and consistent code, you'll be sharpening the focus of Rails developers around the world!
