Q&A with the cast of Ruby on Rails: The Documentary

[@cli23]

For years (maybe more than 10 years), I was convinced I didn’t like software development despite having worked in it for so long. Learning Ruby on Rails in 2011 completely changed things and now I’m a passionate software developer running my own dev shop. I always say, it’s a framework that moves at the speed of my creativity. On a side note - huge props to HoneyPot for making docs like this.

Honestly learning Ruby on rails in the year of 2024 makes no sense. It's like learning JSP, jsf, struts in the java world. You just need to develop backend APIS and many js frameworks or libraries out there to render the data.

[@pythonantole9892]

"many js libraries". That's exactly the problem, that to do a very simple thing you need to install hundreds of JS libaries and pray that an update on one of those libraries will not fry your application. RoR may get a lot of hate but the nonsense and FOMO that's in the JavaScript world is clearly not the solution.

@@pythonantole9892 it's a problem with people who does over engineering.

[@altridotdev]

and that's exactly what you can do with rails? You can build a reliable backend that will be stable for a long time while you can build your front-end in whatever stack you wish. Even if that means building in the new hot monthly/weekly/daily js frameworks :)
