  • Oh god good ol ActiveSupport. I’m having flashbacks of so many ruby projects trying not to bring it in and basically reinventing it but poorly documented.

    I still would say it was the language I’ve most enjoyed (professionally used most all higher level languages over 20+ years) but it might be nostalgia for a time early 2010s when rails was just freaking magic compared to the ways we used to build web apps.














  • Eh? That article says nothing about their profit margins. Today they have something like $3.5B in ARR (not really, that’s annualized from their latest peak, in Feb they had like $2B ARR). Meanwhile they have operating costs over $7B. Meaning they are losing money hand over fist and not making a profit.

    I’m not suggesting anything else, just that they are not profitable and personally I don’t see a road to profitability beyond subsidizing themselves with investment.
