Prototype the crappiest thing you can in RoR (if you're still happy to use it). When you hit a problem ask people (most likely still doable as it's just REST api endpoints) and if not, possibly re-evaluate. At worst you'll kn

I'm sad that is (probably) going to be a dying industry because of all the AI slop we're seeing.

You know I've fallen in love with Svelte (specifically Sveltekit). I would strongly recommend giving it a shot. I'm an experienced React dev and thought I'd try something new for a side project. I tried and liked SolidJS (and

That's quite a wide brush you're painting with. I think it would be useful if you provide a reason for 'why'. Quite a few people know how to use mutes, lists etc to get the best from it. If all you click on is rage-bait

Obviously it depends on what you're doing. Used RoR back in the day and it's a great way to get stuff out the door. I coded like I was on fire. I've never had that sensation since then doing JS/TS/React blah-blah. I

>They can all make apps. They could, but most likely they are doom scrolling while saying things like "Isn't there competition from the thousands of software devs laid off in last couple years. They can all make apps." :)

Oh... I agree.. I'm just shocked at the attitude. i.e. "We don't quite know how it works... but statistically we think it will help, with these side-effects.. good luck" <gasp>

Sure. However the implications if your stupid sass app [0] fails or not is not in the same league (IMHO) as messing with humans biology. [0]: Yes there may be medical sass apps that are more serious

Work on a project and pretend you're still employed. Use Trello (or equivalent) to project manage yourself i.e. set deadlines, do extra to hit targets, do releases etc. I think it's very easy to punt things.

If the file was signed, wouldn't that have prevented the corrupted transmission file from being loaded. I assume if the signed file was hacked (or parts missing), then it wouldn't pass verification.
