Ruby 2 Methodology
summary
Shows that Ruby now allows emoji and other odd method names and uses define_method/send to call them, documents a real app patch that makes private methods callable with self (accepted but not merged), finds and fixes RDoc and keyword-arg performance bugs, and replaces ~150 misused protected methods in Rails with private with tests passing. Demonstrates method transplantation, unbound/bound method behavior, module prepend replacing alias_method_chain, super_method introspection (but with lingering bugs), and refinements for file-scoped monkey‑patches.
