Using Monads for Elegant Error Handling

Explore elegant error handling techniques using monads in Ruby during this 27-minute conference talk from RubyConf 2021. Discover how to refactor existing applications to adopt a functional programming style, making code cleaner and more expressive. Learn why rescuing exceptions, though common in Ruby, can lead to difficult-to-understand code and production outages. Gain practical insights on implementing monads to improve error handling, enhance code readability, and simplify debugging processes. Follow along as the speaker demonstrates how to transform a problematic codebase into a more maintainable and robust solution using functional programming concepts.
