@garrytan This is WHY Rails is a *crazy unlock*.
LLMs don't just write code, they make hundreds of architectural micro-decisions every time they generate it.
Rails: those decisions are already made. Convention over configuration.
JS: every project is a blank canvas. Every LLM call reinvents the architecture.
Same AI. Wildly different complexity curves over time.

Another open source bug fix!
You can now use the fantastic pgcli natively with the latest rails without having to enter your password every time!

LLMs are just perfect normie traps. Normies will do anything to think less because they love being dumb. As soon as you present them a thing that allegedly allows them to think less they happily switch off their brain and don't even notice that the thing is actually garbage.
Something interesting is happening in the Bay Area.
New startups are launching on Rails.
Top tech companies are scaling with Ruby again.
Open source maintainers are pushing new boundaries...

I generally find this to be true and I'm willing to tolerate it until I fully understand the problem; here's a quick tip to help the whole team's future refactoring / discoverability with a self-documenting DUPE tag
@Eric_P8@AvgDatabaseCEO I agree with that but the government has a legal monopoly and forced participation. So it’s not a fair comparison.
Considering how decisions make potential customers feel is shrewd business
I guess I’m saying why I wouldn’t choose to build it the way you said
