Feds used Rails? That's neat!
If you don't mine telling, were you a contractor or like a permanent dev? I'm very surprised that feds would choose Rails for projects. Maybe for prototypes or in house stuff or whatever.
Anyways, cool!
- unixhero 8y agoFederal Government does not necessarily equal cool FBI agents with suits and trenchcoats. But, still very cool yeah!
- always_good 8y agoWell, I'd expect more people associate federal jobs with the movie Office Space or the "hustle" of their local DMV.
- nobleach 8y agoHa, yeah, FAR from "cool". But we did deal with some cool satellite imagery, and I can confirm, the earth is indeed roundish.
- robin_reala 8y agoCan’t say for the US government, but a lot of GOV.UK (including all of the content pages, and some of the services) are built using RoR.
- nobleach 8y agoI was a contractor for the Forest Service at the Remote Sensing Application Center in Utah. The Rails tools were mostly internal... but yup, I lobbied hard to be allowed to write something other than PHP, C#, or Java.
