Fireship casually throwing out the next million dollar idea. Horse tinder 2024
As a Laravel guy my reaction is "oh, so this is where my framework came from".
believe it or not, straight to the resume
I started using Rails a year ago for my side project and man it loved every minute of it. It’s simple and you can focus on product features instead of dealing with configurations.
Started my career as a Ruby on Rails developer. Still pick it for 90% of my side projects! Glad to see a Fireship video on it, Rails is the best!
It may not be the fastest and may have some opinionated opinions, I don't agree with, BUT This framework has been my bread and butter for 18 years. And the products are created over the years are still working and maintained. It also inspired a bunch of other frameworks - Django, Laravel, etc Thank you to the Rails team!
It's the framework all the others try to imitate for almost two decades now, and they still don't quite manage to do so
As an ror developer it feels soo good to see someone talking about it in between the chaos of soo many js frameworks. Modern ror has a lott of features if someone wishes to have a go at it
Man, I wish Rails was more popular. Great framework & Ruby is a special language
I started my web developer career in a bootcamp in 2017 learning rails, never worked on it on production but i still have a lot of love for it. I'm really pleased that what i learned for version 5 is still the same today.
Finally, my favourite framework
I truly believe that learning Ruby on Rails in 2024 will not only make you a better web developer in general, but it will make you a better Javascript developer as well, because you'll be working with JS much closer to the browser, and not on top of some huge abstraction like React.
Just one correction: Model name is always singular and database table names are plural, so the scaffold command will be rails g scaffold Horse and a db table called horses will be automatically created.
Omg I started learning Ruby recently after getting bored of pure frontend dev. So many people online think Ruby/Rails is dead in 2024, and sure it’s not hyped up like it was but I’m finding it to be a great framework. I’m very productive in it as a newbie.
Now do Cobol on Wheelchair.
I really want to build apps on something other than Rails, but at the end of the day, Rails has more than all the other frameworks. Start with Rails, and you're like 90% finished already.
My preferred framework to work with, by far. Rails has gotten so much better in the last few years. Hotwire really helps slim down the frontend and lets you do partial page reloads and event-based pages updates really easily, even though it requires you to rewire your brain a bit when you're used to other frameworks. And other that it's just a really satisfying framework to work with that allows you to build secure and well-built applications easily. PWA support by default is coming in Rails 8, looking forward to that!
Coming from barebones PHP without any framework, Rails has taught me so much and made me a better developer. The sanity of Rails environments and database migrations, the clarity of routes and how HTTP works, the importance of background jobs for good latency, the ergonomics of Action Mailer and sending emails and above all the finesse of Active Record and the use of conventions for development speed. And let's not forget about security best practices, CSRF, XSS, all things I didn't know about before but now do yet I still just trust the framework to handle it for me.
Rails is the goat framework to build MVP (API mode too). Love it, working with it daily 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
