Absolutely! The JS world is very fragmented, lots of libraries and frameworks that do pretty much the same thing. Rails makes it very very easy to build great applications. More people are coming to realise that. Also Ruby is a pretty straightforward and clean language.

Also, the people Rails should be impressing are not the new devs, but rather the tech leads and Senior Devs in the bigger firms. These are the people who decide which frameworks to use. The new devs would simply just learn what's in trend or what gets them a job.

I moved to Ruby on Rails in January 2022 and I would like to thank you for uploading quality tutorials.

I live in Chile, the most important university in here (Pontificia universidad catolica de chile) teaches his students Ruby On Rails as a must, so here a lot of startups are using and hiring rails devs.

[Deanin]

Yeah that's right, it's another weird Friday talking head video. Today I found some graphs that hopefully will get some discussion going.
Basically, some of the recent traffic for Rails looks pretty positive. Personally I think it's neat, but not really something I'm gonna draw conclusions off of lol. Curious to hear what everyone else's thoughts are on how things have changed since Rails 7 though.

After doing some side projects and building a startup that failed before it got into production I just got a junior job as a Rails developer in Tokyo. The cool thing if that I have never developed with Ruby before so they hired me based on my general software dev knowledge. So yeah, there are some new people getting into Rails, each one with their own stories. Nice chanel btw, learning a lot with it

I appreciate your honesty in your analysis. That being said I appreciate your tutorials on rails and It's helping my rails journey.
To answer your question, I think many BootCamps are training people in rails for the backend, causing the surge.

seems that all changes around Rails 7 was game changers for many developers, ,, rails 7 is looking good

[threeprongedfork]

As a rails dev, I will always be hopeful that these stats are a sign of more excitement towards rails.

I just hope that more people trying out rails will make future versions of rails better, faster and more accessible

Deanin thank you very much for the quality about Ruby on Rails related content!

[cantalas]

wow great channel! i love that you combine js frameworks like react with rails in one video! i dont know why this video got recommended to me when i searched for "rails 7 blog" but im very happy it did! very consistent uploads aswell, im looking forward to see more of your vids in my subscription site, thanks!

[streambender]

100% have come back to Rails after 5 yrs of hating React

[rafaljaroszewicz]

Interesting points, that comparison would be much better if you include whole world data rather than just US

I finally landed a rails dev role, but you are right, the junior market in Rails is near non-existent. It is a tough market to crack. I had to workin in Python and JS for a while to build up experience before I could get hired in Rails. I had a personal production app in Rails, with real users, to prove I could use the framework. You are also right about the technical assessment! For this job it was a beast...setting up an app and integrating with a third party API with several features. Not rocket science, but a lot of work having never seen the API documentation nor worked with a particular SDK or gem.

I am an experienced Desktop developer working remotely with c# and xaml with backend experience with .net core but struggling to upgrade to a new remote (worldwide) job. Bcz my skillset jobs are very rare. So I am considering a switch to a tech stack which can get me a remote job. What would u recommend? js or ruby or blazor? Thanks

RoR is pretty popping in the Start Up world. First job was a Vue/RoR full stack dev with 0 experience and CS degree.

You’re right about the RoR take homes being projects being beefier, but the rails scaffolding commands can set up the project in minutes.

I’d argue that start ups that use Rails use Rails for for its dev tooling and want their devs to know how to run “rails g migration CreateSomeTable” “rails g controller SuchAndSuchController”.

And then at that point, its basically seeing if you can set some column validations and strong Params for your controllers.

🤷‍♀️

I am working over rails from 8 year. When i started its too complex. I start with with rails 3.0 with ruby 1.9.2. For now after rails 7 i can say anyone can easy to understand because every person who can learn anything he/she can help with internet. So i could not switch on any other language as my colleague did. I love rails and definetly i want to learn more and more!

[awksedgreep]

I’m back after many years away. Ruby has gotten so much better and I think Rails 7 seems to be a good path to the future. If DHH doesn’t lose his mind again and completely redesign rails again then we will be set.

[frauseo]

This is me that increased the trend. Just building an rails app. Jokes by side… ruby 3 and rails 7 is hitting

[martijnenco]

I Do feel that there needs to be said that search stats are NOT stats about what is used more..
This could also be telling us that javascript frameworks are just so much more inlogical :)
Once you know rails, you're not googling much..
Pretty much no one wraps their head around complete javscript frameworks, you just need to keep googling..

[mateuszbabski]

Im learning c# for few months, but furę perspective of working on some corporate makes me sad, so i am convincing myself to turn into Ruby and then in future Elixir. I will watch Ur videos :)
