Tip Use any? rather than !empty?

Calling Enumerable#any? without a block is the same as yielding each element to the block. As a result, when you can’t use unless, any? is semantically similar to the uglier !empty? (or size.nonzero?).

  if foo && !bar.empty?

  if foo && bar.any?
This works for anything that includes Enumerable, notably Array and String.
