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 am not saying that “Rails is dead.” But I would say that job postings and/or jobs total and/or lines of code in production are all trailing indicators of what will be useful to know tomorrow. Paul Graham and Joel Spolsky have made this point about Java and Windows in the past.

And yet Java is doing fine. And is probably not a terrible thing to learn.

I'm personally interested in brand new apps choosing rails. It's still very very common, even in places you wouldn't expect. Rails is (correctly) seen as a pragmatic choice for backoffice functionality that gets the job done.
