I’ve been eying NestJS as a framework for my node.js work. The difference I find between NestJS and Rails for example is that NestJS puts the things together that sort of crystalized out in the wider community to spare you a lot of the glue

With rails 7 still so fresh you will have to use the rails guide. https://guides.rubyonrails.org/ Other than that you might find something interesting in on reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/rails/

Yes, Ruby on Rails is worth learning. Especially if you are a JavaScript guy, a solo found and interested in the developer experience. Ruby and Rails give you a nice dev experience in my opinion and the way you use Ruby changed the way I do

I don't use an IDE, I use Sublime Text. Why? Because I work with JavaScript, Ruby and to a degree with Python and Bash if I have to. All scripting. I find most IDEs make my life harder. I've used Eclipse for Ruby, JavaScript, Andr

Most programmers I worked with where normal people with a wife or husband, children and pets. Some of us are rather good with people. What hurts us are stupid stereotypes along the line of: - we don’t get along with people - we can’t commun

Two things here: 1) Having multiple skills is a “skill” too. For example DevOps (programmer + system admin) or full stack developers (front end and back end programmer) combine multiple skill sets in one person. 2) Overspecialization can be

I’m not trying to be mean here but the rough experiences you are having with jQuery are not really going to go away with React. I would also not call anything a SPA without a solid router and honestly I doubt the jQuery app has that. Even i

Dude, it is not cool to downvote somebody for asking you to clarify what you mean with “scaling”. If you want to know what you can do to prevent your projects from sinking into chaos: 1) Use a framework, even if it isn’t “Perfect” it is at

What is your definition of front end that it needs scaling? What is your setup that a proxy and CDNs aren’t enough scalability for a front end? I haven’t encountered a case where the front end is ever the scaling bottleneck so I have to ass

I once read about some research trying to argue that it was possible for an organism to accumulate multiple mutations that are neither positive nor negative on their own until you reach a point where the combination of traits as a whole mig

When it came to the eye it helped to look at aquatic animals. The eye was more or less fully evolved when life crawled out of the ocean. It was interesting to see how the eye evolved when it was explained to me. My biggest problem with the

Yup, but there is more. I think overall we as a community appear to show good taste in what we do (this is opinionated) and if we do something it tries to be as complete as possible. When I think of all the half backed JS projects I’ve look

For some people Python is not a plus, usually for us Ruby guys. I did like Python a lot more though before I found Ruby but afterwards Python became sort of “practical” and unexciting. We usually also want the “magic”. I can’t argue with yo

It’s established, so it is “boring” now and that is not necessarily a bad thing. I do get the feeling that Rails is becoming “more popular” again but not in the way you would expect. Some of the old Rails guys that moved on are getting nos

The cool think about rails is not just that you don’t have to take care of the “pluming” (you get that from any halfway decent framework and could stick with JavaScript and nestjs for example to get that benefit) but the libraries that exis

You are not wrong, there where a lot of changes over the 3.x time frames and the info you can find online is often out of date. The community is small and most people are more interested in React, Vue or Angular. I still hope that something

I feel your pain (literally since I am currently in the same boat with). Yes Rails would be a perfect solution for the CRUD work you have. Hell Django probably would be a good solution too. Unfortunately it was “clear” 8 years ago that Java
