Can you give an example? Gonna have to pick up Go for work soon, just curious what's in store.

These are all catch phrases - simple, powerful, easy to host. Whatever. Everyone thinks they are simple and powerful. So Ruby's catchphrase is "developer happiness". There you go.

Rails is doing a lot for you. There's no point in comparing it to something lean like Express. If you want that in Ruby use Sinatra, not Rails.

Lol I like how you substantiated your argument with that Tweet. Looks like serious research.

As a Rails dev it's extremely rare for me to need some functionality that Ruby doesn't cover. If you're doing standard web development most likely you're gonna be fine with Ruby. I…

You dont mock the db layer, i dont do that at least, hell no. Let the db be hit, check that the records it returns make sense. Thats how I roll at least.

I think tests should have caught that one but I agree.

ViewComponents are just a glorified partial no? Have nothing against them but I don't see the big fuss...

I dont wanna sound negative but for some people giving up makes sense. Entrepreneurship could be extremely isolating and depressig, especially when its not working out, and not eve…

Rails. Wait a minute actually..oh yeah - Rails.

What type of interview? If it's a Leetcode/Coderpad type of test where you're expected to deliver a working solution in 30-60 minutes definitely go with what you know best. No one …

I'll take legacy Rails over legacy Java or legacy PHP or legacy .NET but to each his own. Good luck!

Rails 6 has support for multiple dbs ...

Gitlab is also Rails :) But wait it's probably super slow. You should try Jira heard it was wriiten in Java. Must be a fast app then.

> When multiple teams work on the same rails project, you're bound to have someone enhance some class somewhere It really isn't that common just like it isn't that common to do it …

How much effort did you put into learning Ruby and Rails properly? It's easy to get started but rather hard to master and it sounds like you're invested in other tech.

> It takes a lot more effort and housekeeping in Rails to make it scale well. It takes increasing the number of pods on your k8s which is how almost all teams deploy nowadays. Bigg…

Have no argument with you there, I'm not saying it was all a win. Mental health problems seem to be increasing and the internet is part (but probably not all) of the problem.

Well the game has also changed for dynamic languages. Writing JS or Ruby with a powerful IDE today isn't what it used to be 5-10 years ago and it will keep getting better. The tool…

Well as a society we are super screwed if some event wipes out the internet or computers. The dependence is gonna keep increasing. I wonder when we'll hearing stories about Amazon …

> How do you think people learnt to code before the internet? I borrowed large textbooks on Basic/VB, C++, and Turbo Pascal from friends and libraries. And this wasn’t a long time …

> lack of voices from within China Whose fault is that? China only has one voice as a policy. I'll take Western media's reporting over what the Chinese party is saying more often t…

I used a physical map, but especially inside cities how the hell are you supposed to keep your eyes on the road and navigate at the same time? A 30 minute drive can have idk 50 tur…

For sure. The lack of transparency is a given in an authoritarian regime and I'm sure there are consequences. Isn't Covid a good example? Chinese scientists who tried to ring the a…

I got comments from neighbors for going into the street with a cup of coffee in the Netherlands. My Dutch wasn't that great but I picked up they were busting my balls in a friendly…
