Didn’t nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m used Rails earlier on, and that Twitter evolved beyond— while still using some Ruby? I did a Rails course years ago (that DHH backed) although I wouldn’t say I am a developer.

Hartl’s books and now his learnenough.com and PragmaticStudio (Mike and Nicole’s courses) are good.

I also think I heard Jack once say on Bitcoin.Review (?) something like Rails was the bane of their existence.

Would love the elaborated version of why this was the case— and does Rails8 and does that change his opinions on using the framework vs. something Python based, etc.🫂 PV!

Yes, I believe Twitter was originally built on Rails.

100% . Hartl’s Rails tutorial basically built a twitter-esque micro post app— minus the network effects 🤣. It does skip the budding blue bird censorship, and privacy hating mechanisms and authoritarianism aspect.
