I made an aside about my dislike of autoloading in Rails a few weeks ago. As is almost always the case, other folk are far more eloquent at explaining these things than I am, so here’s a person called Eric Bower on the matter:

Since there are no import statements at the top of the file, it was a guessing game to figure out where source code was located. Is SomeClass a class we created in one of our repos? Is it a third-party class? I have no clue just by looking at how the class is being used.
