Ask HN: What Is the Future of Rails?
we have seen our contemporaries build software across different industries, and with different technologies. react, javascript and microservices, multiple layers of complexity, k8s, and shit.
rails has allowed our hivemind to test a whole bucket full of risky assumptions quickly. i wouldn't even know where to begin if i were to start with something new
i got my start hacking on wordpress and made it do a whole ton of things it was never designed to do. then i learned rails and it helped me understand ruby, which is such a cool and fun language.
perhaps tools don't matter as much as the value or outcomes you can create. ruby and rails have worked for me but i dunno if i was getting started now if i would have ever considered starting with rails.
what is the inevitable of rubists and rails folk? with AI writing code and shit, is there a future where it makes sense to continue to learn rails? who knows? why do anything???? thanks
have i plateaued? how does rails die?
