Excellent advice as always. Specially because it comes from experience and not theory. Thanks a lot, Cezar!

I was curious to know what you think or if you could point me to a resource that goes over why to choose Rails over other frameworks that are just as quick for development like Django for Python and maybe Next.js for JavaScript. Would it just come down to what language you enjoy using at that point? Because they seem to be structured the same or very similar to Rails but really only differ in the language you use to code in. For me I think I would go with Rails just because I like Ruby way more than Python and JS. But if I was just thinking objectively about what is best for the customer/client, do you think SaaS products that you are aware of, would be best served with something other than Rails or would it be the same from that technical part so only dev. experience is going to be the difference?

To me, Rails is the best choice simply because it was built for this from day one and it's still going strong 20yrs later. I wouldn't pick JS simply because it's got too many moving parts, and it gets in the way when you need to upgrade 2 years in. I also don't think it's as easy to build the same thing with JS. I don't know much about Python, but it was never as popular for web-dev as Rails was (from where I'm standing).

There's bootcamp in tokyo called le wagon that teaches html, css, js, webpack + ruby and ruby on rails. Does it sound like it's worth it? 5 stars, best rating I have found so far. I keep hearing that ruby's and rails' demand is low and frankly I probably wouldn't be even considering this if I didn't want to study in japan so bad... Any advice? :(

@mixandgo Жыл бұрын

Bootcamps are a quick way to learn if you have the time and budget. I have not attended one, but they provide everything you need (lessons, coaches, projects, reviews, etc.). As far as Ruby on Rails demand goes, it's low for junior devs right now, but it's very high for senior devs. Demand will change with time, so if you want to get a job quickly, you'll probably have it easier if you pick one of the trending languages/frameworks (I assume). Even though that might change as well, given the recent big-tech layoffs and Hotwire (which makes it less appealing to choose a Single-Page App framework over a full-stack one like Rails). On the other hand, if your goal is to build a business (now or in the future), Rails is a great choice.

I did this le wagon bootcamp here in Brazil, it is really good, they also teach how to properly applicate to jobs and how to find them.

Hi hope you fine so i am stuck in some place like i want to get highly paid but in my company i work hard and get less means i am not satisfied and on the other hand if i want to switch i cant do it because its hard for me to adjust some new places so i am tired of this i like want to work remotely do you have any suggestion about that ?

Well, one thing you could try is freelancing. You can start small, build your portfolio and level up as you go.

I was worried that I've been too general because i can use most things but i don't do the really low level parts. I was worried it's made me less than others. Thanks for the mindset change.

I'm a 21 year old web developer with 2 years of experience with one in frontend and one in backend. I've been considering the idea of creating my own company and become a freelancer and this video really helped me to see an alternative way to my career. I'm currently applying for a job and they are using Ruby on Rails, I never heard or interacted with Ruby before but this past week I've been playing with it and thinking of how it could positively impact my career. I'm currently learning Rails and looking forward to see the power of it to utilize it as a tool in the future! Thank you for your video.

Does your course require knowing Ruby language prior to joining?

@mixandgo Жыл бұрын

Hi Chris. It definitely helps if you know Ruby. But if you know a different language like Python or JS, then you shouldn't have any problems.

@lucasavelar930 Жыл бұрын

The only problem you have is this need to try to prove that your career style is the right way to go. Most Ruby on Rails programmers are in corporate jobs for an obvious reason: they pay well and have less headaches. I understand that your position was advantageous in the past, but today it doesn't make much sense. It might make sense again in the future, but now having a boss is not the hell you paint it. Learn Ruby and Rails, have a job, turn off your computer at the end of the day and enjoy life with reasonable money.

I appreciate your feedback, and if that's you, you have nothing to worry about :) Enjoy the "good" life. But I know the grass is even greener on the other side of that fat paycheck. And a lot of people don't know it.

I have a website with 10k visits per month. Im currently learning the odin project and almost done with foundations. I live in Germany and i see a lot more jobs for JavaScript than ror. I want to eventually get a job but i really want to learnr ror. Do you think i should take the ror path or the JavaScript path.. thanks

@SketchupGuru Ай бұрын

Also do you think I can use RoR skills to build a e-learning website?

@mixandgo Ай бұрын

Currently, or at least in recent years, Javascript has become much more popular than Rails, and there are many more jobs for Javascript. I would say that if you want to play it safe, and get a job, go with Javascript. That's not to say you won't find jobs on Rails. But it's harder.

@mixandgo Ай бұрын

@SketchupGuru You can definitely build any SaaS app with Rails. Also, you're still going to use Javascript with Rails. It's just that you don't rely as heavily on it because there are other (ahem, better) tools that Rails gives you.

This whole video is misleading. Other than the point about writing tests, pretty much everything else is about how to make (more) money which has no correlation what so ever with being a "badass" rails dev. Associating success with how much money you make is a sure way to burn out or ending up doing extremely boring work. I know, I have done it. As a dev, your focus should be about finding meaningful work, this is the only way you can work in a sustainable manner and still love your job day after day. And if you are good at it, you will make enough money to cover a comfortable lifestyle.

@mixandgo Жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Alain. But I disagree. It's not just about making money. It's about the freedom to choose what you want to work on. Being your own boss makes that possible, as opposed to finding someone who gives you permission to work on whatever you find meaningful.
