You... really didn't read the article, did you?
In the opening they state: "My skills as a Ruby on Rails developer today are by far more valuable than any skills I would have gained pivoting to full-time AngularJS development in ~2014".
Doesn't sound like someone who's worried that their "investment [didn't] pay off".
Hell, they even close it with: "In the year 2033, I am 100% convinced my skills as a Ruby web developer will be by far more valuable than any skills gained learning React…"
Seriously, I get it. You don't agree with the author. Cool.
But why make up some fictional motivation like this?
- sircastor 4y agoI did really did read the article. And I stand by my statement. Even though they're comfortable with their Rails skills, the whole article reads to me like someone who didn't pick the winning horse. > We were told writing apps... using our preferred language/tech stack of choice, was outdated and bad for users. > how do you trust developer communities which have been overrun by people who are giving you false and misleading information on a regular basis > No, YOU—the JS-framework-stans—intentionally created a world that excluded those of us I guess we took different things away from the article.
