Enumberable#index_by for Better Hash Building in Rails

Ruby hashes are awesome! They allow us to efficiently access data by a key. A common task in data processing is to build hashes using Enumerable#each_with_object so we can quickly access related data during processing steps. I learned that we can use Rails’ ActiveSupport method Enumerable#index_by to make this manipulation even easier.
