Apply standardized MVC patterns, RESTful resources, and state-as-records approaches to align your Ruby on Rails codebase with DHH and 37signals conventions, ensuring a cohesive architecture and maintainable code.

The state-as-records approach in Rails uses patterns like Closure, Goldness, and NotNow instead of boolean flags to model domain state, ensuring auditable changes and cleaner database-backed design over simple toggles.

Structure Rails controllers and models using 37signals conventions by standardizing RESTful resource design, applying minimal validations, and enforcing specific naming conventions for cohesive domain modeling.

DHH Rails testing practices recommend using Minitest with fixtures, emphasizing database-backed patterns and minimal validations to standardize testing across your application.

Use Turbo and Stimulus in a Rails codebase to standardize interactive view layers, following DHH conventions that prioritize integrated, framework-native JavaScript over heavy single-page application architectures.

Audit your existing Ruby on Rails project to begin applying DHH conventions to controllers, models, and views, standardizing architecture, domain modeling, and testing practices incrementally.
