Today's Email Incident
Recognizing that it is not politically correct in these parts to pose this question, I sometimes wonder if the Github team (which seems like a highly-skilled, competent team) regrets building on Rails.It seems they have been able to use their high skill and competence to laboriously steer a bulky and (dare I say it?) heavily-engineered framework to serve Github as the modestly fast and fairly reliable site that it is.But would not they be happier had the efforts exhausted on scale, reliability, and repair been available to spend building features had a faster, less confusing platform and framework been selected?I know, it's antithetical or heretical to imply that Rails is anything but a model of efficiency.
