Rails developers are spending more time fighting Rails these days than improving it. I have the feeling that good coders have left the ROR ship and that Rails is now the framework for code-schools and learn-to-code bootcamps. It's a bit sad, but as long as Rails is tied to Basecamp I don't see any solutions.
The author is right, competition is important, the Rails/Merb scenario is the open-source version of Microsoft E.E.E
- dhagz 10y agoReally, even if it weren't tied to Basecamp I think if DHH remains as Rails' BDFL, we won't see the type of changes a lot of developers want to see. Which just means we need to highlight other frameworks like Hanami, Trailblazer, et al. in Ruby user groups.
