I love that theory. I very much spent time thinking that it would be cool if we were inside a black hold after reading A Brief History of Time.

Rails/Ruby is still top 10 on Github landscape in Pull Requests. Though it's lived through a relative decline people talk about it less because a lot of other frameworks and languages have improved in light of what the ecosyste

The majority of projects have their workers idle 98% of the time. When you do get to the point where you need the kind of optimizations you are talking about it is relatively easy to make the change. Solid Queue is easy, out of the box, w

I think there are a lot of Rails developers available. The concern many devs have is that they fear they can't get a job anymore (they're mostly mistaking the downturn of the entire market for one limited to Rails).

If you mean codebase complexity and team size... then yes... types is more helpful with that. But in a small team with a small codebase you don't need types to do really well. I find types helped a lot when multiple teams were respon

I started my app using Rails and Hotwire/Stimulus and honestly finding myself way more productive than I did with more JS heavy options. Everything just works so nicely together in the Rails world.

I see what you mean but I have never found it to be an issue even in large codebases. Sorbet and RBS have been problematic. Lots of development slows down with these solutions. I wished it had something baked into the language as well but

I'm currently building an application to launch it soonish. I'm using Rails and doing everything myself (save for the design of the logo, and some input from a friend on UX). What's more is that I'm building mobile appl

I can't recommend this author enough. Project Hail Mary and The Martian are amazing works of science fiction. Project Hail Mary is actually amazing as an audiobook.

I can't imagine having to build a frontend in React... I'm doing everything from mobile app to extensive frontend using Rails... no React anywhere. Just plain vanilla Rails and it's been a godsend!

The good thing about these frequent upgrades by them is that you'll soon be able to just get a new device whenever you need it, without worrying about upgrade cycles.

I can't help but feel that Rails is having a comeback now. Lots of people building really cool projects like this one popping up. The stack is insanely good for doing everything I need to do and the Hotwire Native stuff is starting to

LiveView is the brainchild of Chris McCord. He did the prototype on Rails before getting enamoured by Elixir and building Phoenix to popularize the paradigm. LiveView is amazing and so is Phoenix but Rails has better support for building mo

I believe you. I have a few memories around my second birthday. People are often impressed with my recall of people and places. I have reasons to believe because of corroborations later in life that my memories were true.

I love it when someone dives a bit deeper behind something pretty common for most Ruby devs. It's actually a really elegant pattern that is used and it's everywhere in Ruby.

I’m currently using Hotwire Native with a rails 8 app building a new project and I’m banging out features faster than anything I’ve used in the past. Furthermore so much can be done on the web side to prototype features on mobile with this

I’m building an application with much the same stack and it’s refreshingly easier for a one man shop to use the tools he describes. I used React at my previous job and it feels like a nightmare thinking about it again. Hotwire is a simpler
