Fully agree with the post. Any time you're making decisions based on some dogma versus 'what is the best way to solve my current problem' you aren't guaranteeing an optimal solution.
- pwthornton 10y agoDepending on the project, I think you have to give weight to long-term maintenance and on going development as well. If you're building SASS software that people use daily and may be in the market place for a long time, you'll need to balance both solving today's problems with being able to meet the future. It's possible in this scenario, going with a proven solution like Rails me be it. I just wanted to point out that our solutions sometimes have to consider future considerations as well or have to consider continual development of a legacy product. Sometimes developers consider only whats best in the moment, and that has negative long-term consequences.
