Took me sometime to get used to the magic imports and metaclasses (ruby I know not rails). Curious how well llms navigate this

Not the OP, but I’m doing a ton of it and it works great. I had to decide what to use for my startup and for a few years I’d stopped using Rails. I considered using full stack node/Typescript/etc but Rails just comes with so much stuff that makes it so easy to build things. Solid Queue is one of those things, my whole data process architecture is based on async jobs and it’s really cool to have something that is native to the platform and has no dependencies beyond Postgres which I’m already using anyway.
