I haven't heard of a company using Ruby at scale that aren't actively trying to migrate off of it.

- quickthrower2 3y agoEven if true, that isn’t necessarily a reason not to use Ruby. RoR is famous for getting your MVP out there in front of users fast. Which is what matters for a startup. Needing to migrate off it as you count the fuckyou money? I’ll take that problems thanks!
- ksec 3y agoDo you use Github or GitLab? And Shopify for the rest.
- coldtrait 3y agoSeriously? Even the big ones like GitHub, Shopify, Stripe? I just got a job last year with a company that used RoR. It was challenging but it's fun to work with now, coming from a Java background.
- Lio 3y agoMaybe you're responding to survivor bias. The companies you're talking about are the ones that got to market first and survived because they used Ruby. Those that didn't simply aren't around any more. ...like those competitors to Github and Gitlab that bet against Ruby. :P More seriously you're probably just not aware of the wider market. Rails >7, including Hotwire, is fantastic for small productive start ups. If you want to move fast use full-stack Rails.
