I appreciate that Shopify took a slightly more conservative approach to growth resulting in less feast / famine.
Their RoR stack might have gone out of fashion but it seems like they consistently made the right decisions considering a lot of their customers rely on the Shopify platform for their livelihoods and not just to express their opinions in 140 characters.

- kimshibal 10y agoTHIS, even rails is not cool anymore. It just fucking works
- FullMtlAlcoholc 10y agoIt's not terrible. It is an important factor when considering the pool of devs that know said technology. It's the reason why I've chosen PHP for some projects in spite of my abject hatred for it (for purely aesthetic reasons mind you.)...lots of devs are very familiar with C-like languages.
