Is Ruby on Rails dead?
This is a question that has been commonly asked on social media platforms like Twitter (X) and YouTube since 2010. Having been around for more than 15 years, the question remains popular — because Rails is not dead. It continues to be the number-one framework for building powerful and scalable web apps. Major companies like Shopify and GitHub both started their websites with Ruby on Rails. Even today, as they handle millions of requests per second, they still rely on Rails as their core framework. But what about the UI — specifically the .erb files generated by Rails? Are they fast enough? Are they good enough? My answer is: Yes. Basecamp, one of the most famous project management platforms, still widely uses .erb-generated HTML for its user interface. Overall, Rails is far from dead — it still powers some of the most famous and powerful websites in the world.

About AI
Today, a lot of developers — especially juniors — feel unsure about AI and its effect on coding. By the time I’m publishing this, I’m a junior too, but I have a different opinion. First of all, I don’t think programming and coding are the same. Coding is simply writing human-readable code, while programming is a combination of science and art. People who can code but lack logical thinking or design skills often end up just being employees — working only for a salary. These roles could potentially be replaced by AI. However, true programmers — those who bring unique thinking, creative problem-solving, and a personal style — won’t be so easily replaced. As @dhh says, programming isn’t some boring or unpleasant job that we’re all just waiting to hand off to AI. I program because it makes me happy. Even if AI reaches a point where it can do everything a developer can, I’ll still write code by hand — because it makes sense, it’s fun, and I believe that no matter how far automation goes, skilled programmers will always be essential to tech companies and beyond.
