I’ve been a JavaScript developer for the last 7 years or so. Before that I was working on traditional
MVC Django apps.
This year I was moved to work on a Ruby On Rails project, given I had experience with Django (and some Laravel on the side) I was the best my company had at hand for that project.
I was reticent at first and even considered looking for a new job, but I wanted to give it a try first. HOLLY SHIT. I’m fascinated by the amount of stuff I’ve been able to do, and how simple things are. And that I can search for other Rails projects in GitHub and learn from them because they’re all using the same tools and structure. I do think we’re wasting a lot of our companies money when using this kind of hipster bullshit edge stuff which is not necessary at all like in 98% of what we usually do.
