This is very interesting. At my company we've had problems with finding senior Rails devs, which constrasts with the "great resignation" theory.
I think that the pool of senior RoR devs is restricting nowadays (due to the framework/language's loss of appeal), but the is a small number of Rails big techs (and famous companies, including 37signals) that are still very desirable, so they may not have problems in finding candidates.
- yunohn 4y agoIndeed, and presumably given DHH’s philosophy, 37signals intends to be in business for a very long time. How will they ensure a stable pipeline of experienced RoR engineers? Sidenote - IMO Django and RoR are unmatched in developer productivity - all modern alternatives have mind-numbing levels of boilerplate and bike shedding.
- haskellandchill 4y ago37signals will never have trouble hiring, they are so well known and respected.
- yunohn 4y agoMy point is that the supply of RoR engineers is limited and dwindling. It’s not sustainable long term. Maybe 37Signals thinks otherwise…
- haskellandchill 4y agoYou’re wrong, Rails is still very much alive. Also the idea of x language developer is outdated, as long as you know the language and framework and have done more than nothing with it there’s more flexibility these days especially for senior engineers.
- yunohn 4y agoRails may very much be alive, but this thread began because strong RoR experience is mandatory for this role. This isn’t a generic discussion.
- haskellandchill 4y agoYou need senior Rails devs? I could apply. What's the company?
