+      # Avoid memoization by `find_by` with `||=`.
+      #
+      # It is common to see code that attempts to memoize `find_by` result by `||=`,
+      # but `find_by` may return `nil`, in which case it is not memoized as intended.
+      #
+      # @safety
+      #   This cop is unsafe because detected `find_by` may not be activerecord's method,
+      #   or the code may have a different purpose than memoization.
+      #
+      # @example
+      #   # bad
+      #   def current_user
+      #     @current_user ||= User.find_by(id: session[:user_id])
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   # good
+      #   def current_user
