This skit on rails conventions is ancient, but I will never think it's not hilarious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obOd7WrrTWQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obOd7WrrTWQ There's been arguments over the years that push back to rails magic led to a new generation of explicitness. You're also correct in saying that it's part of the value prop for productivity. But there's an overhead to learning the conventions in the first place and these days there is no denying less and less people are coming to Rails and even less learning Ruby. That's just the lifecycle of software I suppose. I'm extremely grateful for the large companies with massive ruby codebases that continue to move the language and ecosystem forward.
