      Curious to hear what part of Netflix you guys use Rails for?

      We use Rails (and Ember) to make the process of creating original series/films 10x more efficient. Thanks for all the work you do on Rails! 🚂

      Someone told me recently that they were surprised at how many hiring companies still use Rails. The HN/SV mindset that "Rails is dying" has deeply confused a lot of working devs about what skills are valuable in the job market.

      I'm not talking about people who don't *like* rails. I'm talking about people who choose not to learn it out of a conviction that it's a dying technology without otherwise having an opinion.

          To be fair, this is how the hype cycle goes. Look at the number of companies hiring Java developers. We placed a tombstone on that a decade ago :D

          I just feel bad for devs who become enthusiastic about rails once they realize there's work, but otherwise got demoralized by believing the bullshit in the SV environment. But yeah, it's how it goes.

          It's an imminent lesson in the need to be skeptical of all the SV bullshit, not just around technology choices 😂

          Rails is dying? I literally just interviewed at 2 Rails shops in South Florida.

          These weren't like companies that used Rails since inception. These were actual for realsies start ups that chose Rails as their stack.

          Right. People think rails is a "legacy" stack but tons of people are still choosing it for Greenfield apps.

          We also use Rails as our core framework and built our whole startup on top of it. The ecosystem is just too good. I don't care about hypes for that type of business choice.

          Such a shame also… I’m not a formally trained dev but I saw a basic demo project being built in Ruby and thought, “what a beautiful language.” Poetic and logical.”
