- DiggyJohnson 4y agoI read it as good natured humor - clearly dramatic. Just sharing my opinion, fwiw, I see how you might interpret it differently.

- tomatowurst 4y agoWeb development has gotten much more complex these days and while RoR still strong, Python has gone "mainstream" https://www.guru99.com/images/1/021020_0523_PythonvsRub1.png https://www.guru99.com/images/1/021020_0523_PythonvsRub1.png This chart alone should be telling. Ruby has more learning curve, smaller set of libraries and stable but slow rate of innovation. The returns aren't that great for something like Python developers who can be trained on most tool in its ecosystem.
- tomrod 4y agoI agree with your point. To throw fly in the ointment and be a devil's advocate, how do we know the question load for RoR isn't just decreasing because there aren't many questions left to answer?
