I was reading the Rails autoloading guide [1] and it seems Rails Autoloading was designed so that programmers don’t have to write “require …” statements. This is also mentioned in this other article [2]
But looking at config/application.rb, there are a ton of “require …” statements.
Whats going on, what am missing here?
