Sometimes you just get used to writing ruby a certain way, but often with each release of ruby there are some new features that get released that make your code a bit cleaner. One of those updates to ruby is the ability to rescue with do/end blocks in ruby. In a recent commit I made a co-worker graciously reminded me of this feature which has been around since ruby 2.5.
This means that instead of
begin
User.transaction do
...
end
rescue
...
end
I can just do
User.transaction do
...
rescue
...
end
So much cleaner.
