One thing that's easier to do with Rails than .NET is get a job at a startup after your current job. No startup worth their salt is on the MS stack. I have a friend who's a good developer looking for work but has 5 years of .NET on his resume and is getting passed over time and time again at "hot" startups because you can't compete with people that have been keeping up with the latest tech (which usually means Rails, but even PHP is more marketable at this point).
- loewenskind 16y agoWhat's the allure of getting a job at a startup? Founding, sure, but just working for one? Probably low pay, certainly long hours for a (small) chance at a decent payout at some future date? If you want to make consistent good money it's in consulting for firms, and that's going to be almost exclusively C# and Java.
