Not necessarily, but generally (99%) yes. It's both an advantage and disadvantage of the framework. Use the right tool for the job :).

Not in Go, but Discourse is a monolithic rails app on Github which I've used as an example for my own employment's code base in the past. Another example is Gitlab's code base (also Rails).

I agree with this. However, for whatever reason, suggesting a monolith or (gasp!) not writing a spa for an app and using traditional ssr html seems to signal that you're antiquated and old fashioned. I've only been doing this for

There are a million project management apps out there because it's basically all CRUD.

Seconding this. My degree comes in handy all the time conceptualizing software and architecture problems into computer science problems, which are much less murky to solve. My practical experience comes in handy all the time with the day-to

No inherent advantage, but Laravel shipping Vue as a default requires 0 config and the community has crystallized around it as a result, whereas Rails' Webpacker isn't a default in the install and puts the onus of choice on the de

I'd use Laravel over Rails for a new project in 2018. The community is more active and correspondingly the freebies more modern. Rails' front end story became a ghetto once SPAs became a thing.

Are you open to remote workers located in Ontario? Toronto's real estate is exorbitant and nobody likes the world's worst commute.

North American culture is increasingly interpreting freedom as a freedom-from as opposed to a freedom-to, as in, I am free from being an adult as opposed to I am free to be an adult.

If you've ever suffered trauma or lived with a loved one who has, you know why rape analogies (or anything else which maps to a significant trauma, ie someone who has had a loved one murdered, someone in a war, etc) are put on a pedest

It is imperative more members of tech organizations consciously decide to act in ways that are respectful, inclusive and professional, such that environments like the one described are no longer the norm. Any leadership rejecting this is in

I feel like status ought to go in its own table since it future proofs against other things having the same statuses - easier to refactor application logic and the table to be polymorphic than pull statuses from a potentially large table an

100% agree. Rails console and irb is a major reason why I keep coming back to Rails, I haven't found anything as mature and pleasant to use in a web dev framework for verifying the code and tinkering with my models.

Have you ever worked in academia? The humanities are a day care and delayed adulthood for those who would be better suited doing anything else with their time aside from one or two students in every classroom of ~40. For context, I left to

Why live in Toronto for a 90k CAD salary when I can live close to Waterloo and get an 80k CAD salary? Perhaps I'm very lucky, but it goes a lot farther.

I have a 2015 Macbook. I like it, but I know that my next work computer will likely be a desktop dual booting linux and windows. Containers and kubernetes hog RAM like crazy, my laptop is used at the same desk 99% of the time, and for the p

I suppose it depends how we're defining world class. An intensely graphical UI in a game may require the performance native code offers - in that case, absolutely, native will likely outshine the current web stack for developing that s

And yet, people still put together world class interfaces (and consequently, experiences) using html, css and javascript. Some may not like it, but it works, and I'm unconvinced using a different programming language will adversely eff

I was a mobile developer and moved away from it towards web development because of how uncertain the future looks for the tooling. Investing hundreds of hours into the web framework of the week at least informs me on javascript/html&#x

The biggest blocker in getting me to give Go a shot is it forcing a certain directory structure on me, and the lack of Gemfile or package.json equivalent. Has this been solved? I really want to use Go because of everything I've heard,

A small, subjective point of improvement: #fff and #000 are very high contrast, I find pages with a slight muting of these two colors (ie, #fcfcfc and #030303 - an offset of 3 in rgb) to be much easier to read. Regardless, I love the site.

As a contrary opinion, I find Redux simplifies my react projects by virtue of having a standardized set of practices for handling state. The flux pattern in general is amazing, and I always wrote spaghetti, passing props everywhere, prior t

Thanks for the suggestion - the framework looks great from a cursory glance. I really like the decorator patterns - I'll use it on my next side project!

I quit smoking cold turkey when it started to interfere with my weight lifting. I wanted a 3 plate squat more than my post workout smoke. YMMV.
