The last time I was this enthusiastic was in 2012, when I discovered Symfony... 🚀
I had planned for the first software to be released before talking about it publicly.
But I can't help it, I'm having way too much fun, I'm way too absorbed by the marvel that is Ruby on Rails... 💎
EVERY SINGLE TIME I discover how to do something, like 10 minutes later I'm thinking... "F*** they're actually geniuses!" 🤯
Let me explain...
This summer I was working on a commercial product, the little sister of Vite Une Table, for hairdressers this time. ✂️ The complexity level is much higher, because in a salon it's 1-to-1, each employee has THEIR OWN schedule. 📅
Anyway, I really like Python 🐍, it's a simple language and that's why I had chosen Django.
Then, during development, I realized I was spending more time asking myself unimportant questions rather than thinking about what really matters: user experience, features, how the thing should work and the business value it brings... 💡
Ruby, I have a history with it. In a previous company, they forced me to use it and I didn't understand anything (no imports, where do these functions come from? what is this s***). 😅
But then my stubborn head said "do yourself a favor: Github, Airbnb, Shopify, they can't all be wrong..." 💪
The Django app stage, it took me a month to get there, with Rails I'm at the same point in ONE WEEK. ⚡
Example? When bootstrapping the Django app, I had to choose my "MySQL driver".
