The latest version of irb introduced an autocomplete that is quite buggy and I don't generally like to be distracted by an autocomplete, any idea how I can disable it?

We can pass the --noautocomplete command line option when invoking IRB.
irb --noautocomplete
Alternatively we can set a configuration option in ~/.irbrc or one of the other locations specified in the documentation
IRB.conf[:USE_AUTOCOMPLETE] = false
Starting a Rails console will respect this configuration but for a one-off we can provide the command line option.
Be sure to pass any Rails options before the --
rails console --sandbox -- --noautocomplete
