I'd like to know where he's getting his figures about Rails from. As someone who left a Rails job (no React) fairly recently and has now switched to a React-centric role, while I was job-hunting there didn't seem to be a great demand for developers who knew React and Rails. It's almost like they're suggesting that people from a Django background will be worse off, which I disagree with. Regardless, I do agree that Full-Stack Rails developers should learn React.
- revorad 10y agoI linked to one HN whoishiring thread in the article - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12846216 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12846216 - but if you look at some others, you will notice that a lot of companies are using both Rails and React. I've seen the same on other job boards. My own last consulting gig was at a company which was gradually porting its Rails view layer to React.
- brogrammernot 10y agoI've only seen this where companies had some of their apps/infrastructure running off Rails(mostly API based stuff, minimal services etc) and were wanting to use React on the front end. I haven't seen a lot of postings either for the specific pairing. I honestly haven't seen a ton of Rails job posts over the last two years. Mostly Node or C# posts or the occasional PHP as far as backend code goes. I like Rails too, first true MVC I used.
