In my experience, most clients we worked with did not request Rails, it was foisted upon by developers who say the five minute blog video, tried to model the business problem, failed, left for shiny new gig, the client is left vulnerable to the many, many security issues, and a code base that brings tears to the eye of even a hardened developer.

The worst development gig out there? Walking into a Rails code base more than six months old. You are probably the third person to attempt taming the stink feet of magic magic code and thousands of useless unit tests and cucumber drivel that looks fab in a pretty graph but tests almost none of the core important business logic nor really helps anyone understand what was actually requested.
