*shudder* vivid memories of my one week trying RoR right after Rails 8 was released... What is Turbolinks? What is Sprockets? How does it relate to Turbo Frames or Turbo Streams? Is it different from Turbo or a part of it? Is it an addon? What are Cables? Why Action Cable? Is it different from Hotwire? Is it the same? Should we take Webpacker, Shakapacker — or Propshaft, after all? Do we use Puma or Unicorn? Devise, CanCanCan, Pundit? Poltergeist, Cucumber, Capybara. PaperTrail, Zeitwerk, Apartment. Fuck me, Rails.
