Description
def should be used with parentheses when there are parameters, and omitted when the method
doesn’t accept any parameters.
Bad practice
def some_method()
# body omitted
end
def some_method_with_parameters param1, param2
# body omitted
end
Recommended
def some_method
# body omitted
end
def some_method_with_parameters(param1, param2)
# body omitted
end
