Sure, Rails is complex, but it takes on that complexity to let us be productive. When you run into that complexity, read the source.
- erikpukinskis 10y agoMy problem is whenever something spooky doesn't work, I never know which part of the source to read through. You need to understand the architecture to even know where to look. Which means you have to go through a huge up front process (like reading a webseries on the subject) to even get started. This front loading is the kind of thing that keeps more people from getting into programming, and is one of the primary ways we keep our salaries high.
