Same, except Laravel was new to me in that thread. Looks pretty similar to what you get with Rails but for PHP. Given the criteria I laid out in that post it looks viable. I’m honestly surprised since I left PHP for Ruby about 12-13 years a

Sure enough a valid point. When I didn’t know it I was productive too, circa Rails 0.14.3. I’ve stepped away for programming for many years and skipped mostly through Rails 3 and 4. Recently picked right back up in Rails 5 and just as produ

The funny thing I see on the springboot quickstart page: Absolutely no code generation and no requirement for XML configuration And the very next thing is a maven xml config.

Spring doesn’t seem as straightforward to me as I would hope. Play is similar, there is promise there but just too open ended.

Great rant. In a way my question is a challenge the Rails is dead noise. Maybe I’m an old dog but the stuff I see lately misses the mark. Developers seem to spend a lot of time thinking about how they’re going to run their microservices bef

I used to work at a company in a similar vertical as BR also linked off CNN frequently and also running Rails. I understand the scalability challenges that might lead someone to something like Erlang and Elixir. Curious, what’s your take on

The thing that’s cool about Rails is there’s some common understanding of the Rails way and in theory I can hire easier I have consistency of this working across versions, etc. I know when I start a Rails project I’m a few steps away from

Reading this full article was a treat. Many would compare Trump to Nixon for character traits and alleged collusion with a foreign power to sway an election but I don’t this illustrates a similar situation here. If anything it shows how pol

Second version of roughly the same story today. When flying sky high it’s easy to say bubble or correction coming soon. I see a better story. Pent up demand for growth investment. Big companies have largely been uninteresting over the last

I wonder if the people starring it are intentionally endorsing the fork or if they are just seeing Piwik for the first time. I saw Piwik show up on Github’s daily trending email today and didn’t realize the reason for the fork but the descr

I have yet to see something that does what Rails does. It’s opinionated and has a cohesive way for doing most things that just straight up doesn’t suck. Sure we have Play and Sping and legion of JS, Golang, Rust and now Kotlin flavors of Si

In all this analysis we seem to be glossing over the fact that what IBM is selling in their Watson platform is not what played Jeopardy. The original point of criticism is that "Watson" in its current offering is little more than
