      @leshill @jremsikjr the former for one-offs, the latter for large numbers of methods or if you need e.g attr_accessor, alias_method

      @bascule @pjb3 @leshill @jremsikjr I only use "class << self" when no other options are available, clarity level: -10

      @bascule @pjb3 @leshill @jremsikjr @merbist it requires too much context to understand code inside it vs. typing 5 characters per method

      @davetron5000 @pjb3 @leshill @jremsikjr @merbist personally I like the logical grouping it provides and being able to collapse them together

          @pjb3 @davetron5000 @leshill @jremsikjr @merbist know what's ugly? a mixed bag of singleton and instance methods ;)

          @davetron5000 @pjb3 @leshill @jremsikjr @merbist missing an instance method because it was grouped with self. singleton methods? Priceless

          @bascule @davetron5000 @pjb3 @leshill @jremsikjr missing? also, organizing class level and instance methods isn't a bad idea :p
