Sometimes more keystrokes are better

I thought I’d be clever with my bundle exec aliases:


# Ruby and Rails
alias be='bundle exec'
alias ber='bundle exec rails'
alias bers='bundle exec rails s'
alias berc='bundle exec rails c'
alias berr='bundle exec rails spec'

But what I found is that anything beyond be for bundle exec actually disrupts my flow.

So I got rid of everything else and will stick to this:


# Ruby and Rails
alias be='bundle exec'
