Stop thinking that any single project will bring you success. Your goal should be to go through this process as many times as is necessary, from beginning to end. Even if your first project is a smashing success, the chances are high that

Slide 68 indicates latest Rails version is 1.1.6. The document was uploaded on 19 June (I'm guessing 2007). Is this really relevant now? I will tack on that the framework will not make or break your idea. The advantage of one framework o

Don't confuse what I said. I'm merely objecting to the inappropriateness of referring to human beings as "fat". My second statement in the above comment was to get you to realize that real people are going to be facing tough times and that

Your inappropriate use of the word "here" for "hear" I can tolerate. But your referral to human beings as "fat" that are easily "cut" is inexcusable. Please keep this in mind as there are many people in the near future that are going to be

Not at all. If somebody is not skilled enough to build a quality application, what do I care? I only need to be worried about what I know, not with what others know. If somebody wants to take the initiative to write ANY application, then

perhaps DHH is justified in saying "fuck you" to all those people who don't know better... But I do agree with you - to a point. There are all sorts who liken Rails to the pixie dust of the year ("BUT IT'S BUILT IN RAILS SO IT MUST BE COOL

I like Rails a lot because it allows me to focus on concept and less on the actual code. If anything does pan out (which might happend 5% of the time if I go through enough concepts), then it's time to revisit whether or not Rails is the a

You are right. The web is fluid and always evolving. Changing the version tag with such definiteness is the same as declaring a pile a heap...at what point does the transition take place? "Web 2.0" is a great marketing phrase to help brin

I think this is a brilliant business move. It keeps the overall experience of all that you would call 'iPhone' contained exclusively by Apple; this dramatically dampens the chaos that could be potentially introduced by having too open of a

First ask yourself these questions: Do you have any responsibilities? Are you young enough such that you can go into something more stable if things don't "work out"? If your answers are "no" and "yes" then go for it. You'll be better off f

I'm open to anything. Rails is still the framework of choice; I need a good reason to move to anything else.

what about TurboGears? I like the idea of having a larger unifying framework based on smaller independent projects. Btw, I should add that I'm asking from the perspective of somebody moving towards a Pythonic framework. I've spent the bet

What a coincidence this article shows up. As of today, I've been researching why I should drop Rails in favor of Django (or any other Pythonic framework) for an upcoming project. Can anybody help shed some light on this for me?
