Rails is the most cult-like, anti-learning, anti-choice and even anti-engineering technology I have ever used. It does NOT want you to make your own choices, it does NOT want you to decouple from the framework, it does NOT want you to grow. It’s frightening.
replyI mean, in an app that uses Rails by-the-book, you won’t even find a class instantiation. No call to new. You won’t find a class that does not inherit from a framework bass class either. The framework handles everything, don’t worry.
These people who refer to them selves as a "Rails Engineer" (or substitute any other language/framework) and fail to realize that there are other tools in the box are of course first against the wall in the AI-driven future.
replyA carpenter who only knows how to use a hammer isn't a very good carpenter.
Why is Rails a hammer not Milwaukee/DeWalt/Makita/etc? A carpenter with only DeWalt brand power tools will do just fine.
replyNot if the job provides only Makita.
replyAnd before you say "a carpenter can switch from DeWalt to Makita just fine": that's why the analogy was made with a hammer.
