Description

This gem recommends using require_dependency in the initializer to set up bot reloading in development but those should be removed according to the rails 6 upgrade guide using the Zeitwerk autoloader.

It seems to me that maybe only config.autoload_paths is needed nowadays, so maybe we should update the Readme?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the Rails 6 upgrade guide on autoloading and update the Readme to replace `require dependency` with `config.autoload paths`.
