This site is irrelevant. If people get to complain about Rails, then they should be doing some programming to
1) fix it (I had 1 patch to Rails by actually found the bug in my app and fixed it, got accepted within a few days. The community is awesome)
2) learn something new instead of wasting time.
3) build something cool to make some good money and quit whining.
Rails is awesome when you actually try to build a complex app. And I'm sick of people complaining about Ruby is so slow and Rails is this or that. My thought? Whatever.
- wccrawford 16y agoWhile I agree that they should do 2 and 3, they owe nothing to anyone and don't have to fix anything. A bug report would be nice, but again, they don't have to. I know a lot of people say that complaining isn't useful if you don't also provide a solution, but that's BS. I've often used complaints to find out what people don't like about a system and formulate a plan to improve it. And I've often received suggestions that not only wouldn't fix the problem, but would destroy the rest of the system. Complaints should be taken with a grain of salt, but when a lot of people have the same complaint, it bears scrutiny. If you ignore complaints that don't have suggestions, you'll never know what made people leave, either.
