Thinking about Rails? Think Again

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the or-not-at-all dept.

wolfeon writes "In 2005, Derek Sivers of CD Baby wanted to scrap his site and perform a rewrite in Rails. He hired Jeremy Kemper, also known as bitsweat on Freenode, to help on the project. Two years later, through blood and sweat, the project was then canceled because of limitations of Rails. Rails just wasn't meant to do everything since it is very much "canned" project. Mr. Sivers has written an entry in the O'Reilly blog: 7 reasons I switched back to PHP."

    I was with you up until the "advancing arguments they couldn't possibly believe" bit. That is ridiculously arrogant of you to say. People do have different beliefs than you do, you know. Just because something doesn't fit through your filter, that doesn't mean it isn't perfectly logical to somebody else.

    If we are going to swing offtopic (and that stupid troll just ticks me off anyway) We might as well hear from the great one,Mr. Bill Hicks on the subject. I always thought the man could make a better point with humor than all the debates rolled into one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJcebIEOkhY
