I mean it makes sense, I’m a dotnet guy also but I’ve kinda become proficient in several technologies. Gotta use the best technology for the job. I needed an integrated AI solution so I learned Python, I wanted to learn web scraping and web automation and web development so Ruby on Rails was what I chose. I’m beginning to use several Rust open source projects so I might need to learn it next.
Man, I admire your practicality mindset so much, thank you. There's certainly a lot of hype around x and y. So tired of it, people keep reinventing the wheel and feel like they made a new invention. I think what most people need is to be out there and create stuff without thinking too much about the technical side of things. People don't even care if youtube loaded 5 seconds faster, they care about the content.
Agree, if you wants to build a personal website project in 2022, laravel is greater than RoR. Not only about the framework but developer group power, VPS support and PHP's lifecycle
Thats pure opinion at this point, laravel is fine, but PHP as a language isn't the best IMHO. I'd rather use django or RoR if I have to actually code the project.
I've mentioned in several videos that I don't use Rails but I get asked a lot why I don't. And honestly it really shouldn't be surprising what the answer is lol. It's because I'm very lazy and it hasn't been the right tool for the job yet! I'M SORRY LOL. People keep asking about my WordPress site though, please don't come for the blood of my first born. It was just easier for me. 😭
@@donny7028 I started using it a few years ago and really struggled to learn because a lot of the material was outdated. The TH-cam channel sort of spawned out of me wanting to create the content that I would have liked to have when I was learning if that makes sense? And the feedback since then has been very welcoming. So although I don't use it, I try to keep the tutorials going because they end up helping people. And at the end of the day, it's all just code to me lol. Doesn't matter if I'm talking about Rails, React, or Racket, I just like software I guess.
@@siyaram2855 Nah it's been a problem since I started learning during the Rails 4 release days. I learned from the 12 in 12 videos that were already running into versioning issues haha. The number of Coffeescript resources I had to translate still makes me cry lol
Blew my own mind the first time I realized that the people in finance can do just fine with Excel and don't actually need to learn Python just to sort some data lmao. Probably projecting a bit, but I definitely favored reinventing the wheel a bit too much a few years ago.
Ruby was initially thought of being iOS exclusive. Nowadays it runs on Windows...to a certain extent, apparently. I can compare cause I used it on both, but on Windows it always needed some extra workaround to get it running. I'm currently trying the latest version of it on Win, but it's being HARD to configure it using PostgreSQL, which is pretty frustrating. It was always easier on a Mac, but I always preferred Windows. I think I should only focus on full-stack JS at this point and maybe "dump" Ruby as a Jr. dev, but it kinda hurts cause I still like the language 😑
Django and NextJs both service different purposes but for job market... Rails is paid highest, but searched less. Django is searched and paid nice. NextJs is searched highest, and paid nice.
i made 5 projects in rails in windows and it works perfectly with no problem, you must to know how install rails and it works with windows, don't say that rails doesn't work with windows
I'm the one that felt offended 🙃 Leaving aside all the unfair comparisons against Rails, I was expecting a more constructive criticism, but I guess the opposite does not give much traffic. I would summarize the entire video as it does exist any full fledged CMS in Rails than can be installed on premise and has a decent amount of plugins and templates. Maybe it's the time to build one
A long account of why you pay for services and don't build stuff yourself... Not very inspiring. What I love about Rails is that it is just down to your imagination (and time) that limits the kind of web application you can build. I'm surprised you are not dabbling about developing new Rails project ideas but I guess your Rails hacks for React and the likes says it all! Re an alternative to Spree - take a look at Solidus, which is a fork that is actively being developed still. It works with Rails 6 but sadly I don't think there are plans to use Stimulus with Rails 7.
Personally, I feel like it is getting more difficult to setup devise with every new iteration of rails. And this doesn't look good for rails, and can we not just somehow delete stimulus from existence.

Man I really appreciate you spending time doing rails tutorials, even more so knowing you don’t really use it elsewhere. So thanks a million 🎉❤

Don't stop teaching on rails
Hahaha no worries. Just wanted a video to link people for when they ask why I used WordPress 😂

Love the explanation! But yes, I love Rails so I do hope you keep making those videos. I wish you would do a series on Flutter too. :)

He is the only one who has up to date Rails tutorial on whole internet.

I've been using Rails on Windows and I've had no problem. It's not hard at all if you have programmed before, it just needs an up to date tutorial
Thank you for your Rails tutorials - they help me a lot in my studying of programming! 😊
software solutions vs commercial solutions.
PFFFF!
you blow my mind!

I am in the business of bicycle racing. But why should I reinvent the wheel if I can reuse a car wheel?
For the pleasure of reinventing the wheel

Wsl, first thing you install is homebrew then use that to install rbenv or rvm, youre off to the races. You want postgres, brew postgresql.
This changes everything
I agree with everything you said. Use the right tool for the project.
Good thing I had no intention of using spree then!
Nobody with a sane mind should ever use windows.
What about WSL?
Mac sucks ass.
What about Windows 3.1?
@@Seekingtruth-mx3ur or windows xp/7? (but yeah, I'm also on the same team, except for game development, no development should be done on windows)

Does Django has a better job market (for devs - juniors)?
Or rails or NestJS ?
Thanks for your amazing content

Thank you giving us 15 mins of your time, thanks to my mind for most efficiently utilizing my time on this.
sorry first 5 mins actually, rest were really good,
ok!
These people are gonna kill the language. I'm bailing out of Rails
So basically Rails is a utopia 😄
hi, is Java better than Rails?
WP is NYT yah
It's sad because it's true.
Go tit
Have you tried “Dragonruby” for game development.
