If you can save $10/month by using PHP rather than Ruby (which seems optimistic) and value your time at $10/hour (which seems pessimistic) then writing PHP instead Ruby only has to take one hour per month more (or the equivalent in pain) to not be worth it.
- city41 7y agoI get what you’re saying and appreciate the perspective. I’m not convinced rails or perhaps Sinatra are really any nicer than say Laravel. But I personally am not a ruby fan. In this particular case the front end is very rich and the majority of the effort, and for the back end I just need a little bit of crud.
