Ruby on rails keeps me impressed - and ambitious

I’ve been working with ruby on rails for over a year now, and I couldn’t be happier with how well it’s done.

There have been frustrating times—just far fewer than there would have been using any other system (including my own I’d written, which I obviously knew back-to-front).

Interestingly enough, development hasn’t been any faster than it was previously! Crazy! The truth is: I expect any site I create to have so much more now, to be so much more well designed, to write test cases, for crying out loud. These things take time. Quality takes time.

I’m convinced it’s one of those “Murphy’s law” sort of things – any increase in productivity of the tool will be made up for by an increase of ambition in project design.

Anyways, here’s to Rails, the software pattern that makes me want to get up each morning, and change the world one community website at a time.
