Good for me, I must made about 500,000 from moving Rails to other more modern stacks... I'll learn Kubernetes just as it dies off and start moving people's shit

Good for me, I must made about 500,000 from moving Rails to other more modern stacks... I'll learn Kubernetes just as it dies off and start moving people's shit to whatever's next.

That has to be one of the best strategies out there. So long as you just read the trends right.

  Best of both worlds, I can paid to learn the new tech and the old tech...

Out of curiosity, which more modern stacks were those?
- WrtCdEvrydy 8y ago
  Most NodeJS with ReactJS frontends. Some of them had already started doing React for frontend and just need the backend work.

    Smart move. They’ll have to hire you again in 5 years tome for another migration.

    React for a js front end makes a lot of sense. But, for the back end, what advantages did they expect by moving to node - besides having the same language in the back end?

      Code reuse. For example you can use the same React components for (pre-) rendering pages on the backend so the site feels quicker to load.

        You can pre-render React with Rails too (and other frameworks).
