Prefer protected over private for non-public attributes https://github.com/thoughtbot/guides/commit/bbc29d545080cd7bf0f51919753d02665f3e855f …

@thoughtbot Prefer using instance variables without accessors over doing that weirdness in the first place :p

@rbondev Using attr_readers by default allows you to change from local variable to instance variable to computed property more easily.

@sgrif @rbondev It also produces an exception when you typo the name.

@derekprior @sgrif @rbondev is “too many @’s all over the place” an acceptable reason? #irony

@jayroh @derekprior @sgrif Plus, now for some of those @'s you removed you now have self's for assignment, which is equally ugly.

@rbondev @derekprior @sgrif yeah there’s some trade-off having to use the self’s. At that point it’s a matter of preference

@jayroh @derekprior @sgrif Agreed. Other tidbit is with protected and inheritance child classes can access parent's state directly.
