Nice topic, @delbetu !
In the ActiveRecord example, you can also use ActiveRecord::Base#none as null-object pattern and remove the early return:
ActiveRecord
user = User.find_by(id: params[:person_id]) || User.none EmailSender.invite(user)
My personal preference is to avoid (if possible) guard clauses and assertions since those make it harder to read and reason about the code, but I agree that sometimes it's not feasible.
oh, that is cool, I didn't know about ActiveRecord::Base#none Thank you!
