It’s the little things that waste my time the most. Another reason to  
get behind this RCR:

[RCR 331: Remove 'true' parameter from #attr](http://www.rcrchive.net/rcr/show/331)

I had in my code:

attr :plugin\_names. :plugin\_files

There went 20 minutes trying to figure out why I was getting:

NoMethodError: undefined method `plugin\_files’

That’s where a little bit of ignorance saved me: I didn’t know there was  
an “attr”.
