Remember when folks called RoR "sexy" and CGI tried and true? Or swap any two nearly similar stacks.

Stack don't matter, it's not the wand, it's the wizard and time makes fools of us all.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZeZsZEEpno These two actually made me hate the language/framework which is why I never gave it a shot.

What's that last jar supposed to represent?

Looks like gasoline/petrol which is sometimes used by people to huff (inhale) to get high.

The whole "serverless" trend feels (felt? Did the fad die out?) like coming full circle back to (Fast)CGI.

interesting spin on 'tried and true.' also works and made me smile.

unless it was a typo.

You'll never make everyone happy... For me the fact that it's RoR as opposed to, say Go or Elixir is a big turn off, because I know it will be slow and eat up lots of RAM. For me tried and true would be Java.
