Rails is more than good enough - it is a framework fine tuned for productivity and quick iterations.

However, convention over configuration means quicker delivery for small(er) teams, but more discussions once more opinionated developers join.


Hard disagree. "More discussions once more opinionated developers join" is universally true regardless of which frameworks/philosophies you start with. The point of convention being more important than configuration is that it reduces those conversations, because you can rely on the conventions as a default.

If an opinionated developer thinks a different configuration is better, then that helps form the conversation immediately. Everyone is already familiar with the convention, so the discussion only needs to inform everyone about the pros/cons of the alternative.


Point taken. I was actually referring to concepts that do not come out of thr box with Rails.

For example, it promotes use of concerns, which can easily go out of control. Then other people come with singletons, interactors or service objects.

Or, like Minitest, which is fine to begin with, but the sooner you switch to RSpec, you will be better off in the long run.

In my experience, these kind of tooling options tend to fire up almost religious discussions.


Yes, this and some maps are not dark-mode ready, so had to revert.


Ireland and Malta are in the EU, both with English as the official language.

This is along with the fact that English is lingua franca in EU and wider.


> Ireland and Malta are in the EU, both with English as the official language

It’s a nitpick to be sure, but shouldn’t it be “ Ireland and Malta are in the EU, both with English as AN official language”


Sure, although English is absolutely the dominant language in almost all of the Republic of Ireland, where in Malta the situation is similar to the Netherlands, where most people it's just a very proficient second language.


3x increase when 3.0 is compared to 2.0[1]. I think it was largely achieved.

It’s just clumsy wording. The patient appeared physically fine prior to the EEG scan, otherwise he would have not been there in the first place.


Putting the period or comma within quotes (the US style) is like tucking your shirt in and then leaving a small part of it out.


Yes, it’s called Remote Desktop. :)


They are actually 64-bit floats (doubles) and unlimited integers in Ruby.


And now JS also have unlimited integers

I would recommend separation of those applications into respective sub-accounts. The hierarchy can be defined in AWS Organizations and you avoid resource overlapping of any kind.


All these applications use the same backend and what not. This makes it easier to share access / permissions vis security groups and IAM role. Its actually separated quite well, just rediculous that if I try to destroy an environment I can't.


Oh, makes sense then.
