I've been using Rails since version 0.8.6 and have apps as old as 8 years I'm still maintaining. I've had teams as large as 20 on a single rails codebase. You do not need anything other than the MVC pattern. I would love to s

Yes! Space Repetition Learning is amazing. For me its wasn't about becoming a 10X developer but proving that I was already 10X because I was facing a salary cap of 120K CAD where I saw friends working as long as me 180K+ CAD and some
