So should the executable be in bin or <code class="no

Generated gemspec files specify <code class="notransl

But the gemspec is generated by <code class="notransl

Also, even foodie from the guide is in <code class="n

So should the executable be in bin or exe?

Generated gemspec files specify bindir as exe, so I think exe is the correct directory. bin is seemingly for local gem development purposes (contains a setup file)

But the gemspec is generated by bundler which might be subjective, as I didn't see any gem using an exe directory.

Also, even foodie from the guide is in bin: https://github.com/radar/guides/blob/master/gem-development/foodie/bin/foodie.

This is the authoritative source: https://github.com/bundler/bundler/blob/master/lib/bundler/templates/newgem/newgem.gemspec.tt. bindir here uses exe. Likely foodie uses bin because it was generated before Bundler changed from using bin to using exe.
