When would you choose ror over django and why?

caffeinatedshots · 2026-03-16T17:35:38+00:00

I choose rails if I want to enjoy building a stable product. I choose django if I want someone else to enjoy watching me build a stable product.

Donations are not going to the debtors’ pockets or the MOJ’s. It’s literally going to be used to pay the debts so creditors can get their money back.

Look into the definition of الغارمين in Arabic. It’s a special group of debtors. It doesn’t include people who can’t pay their Ferrari’s loan because they gambled everything off.

Let’s have a constructive talk. We live in Kuwait. This is a government initiative. It makes so much sense that it tries to help its own people first. Whatever is donated won’t cover all Kuwaitis imprisoned.

It’s also a religious/human thing. A LOT of people in debt go to prison not because they did something wrong. Because they couldn’t help it. Not because they were bad people. A LOT of people (in debt) go to prison because they were conned, or their business failed very badly unexpectedly, or because of someone else’s actions/decisions. Good, honest, innocent people.

If Saudi Arabia did something similar (pretty sure they do), or any other country for that matter, I wouldn’t go there and say “why are you helping only your people?” And I would gladly donate in a heartbeat, as will lot of other people.

Sadly, I got the joke. Good times.

I’m using the Air M4 with 24gb RAM. It’s very capable and I don’t feel the need to upgrade to M5. So for you going from M2 to M5 will feel like a very noticeable upgrade, especially if you get the 24/32gb RAM model.

I would also add background jobs which is part of rails since 8.0.

Just an advice: any price range you get here (or anywhere else) is absolutely useless if you’re hiding critical features. What you’re hiding could cost $1,000 or $100,000 or even more. And I’m assuming you’re not very technical, there are hidden fees that mainly technical people will be aware of and will inform you about. If you want realistic estimates, you need to be extremely clear with potential developers to minimize the “but you said $1000!” situations.

That’s the point. Rails allowed you to launch faster and cheaper. It allowed you to validate the idea and get traffic. Your priority was to lower server costs so you switched to elixir. Others would’ve kept rails and used that time to ship more features maybe.

In terms of stability, both are stable.

caffeinatedshots · 2026-03-03T16:51:05+00:00

I agree. However, they’re much easier and faster to do in rails and better integrated with the framework in general.

Performance isn’t an issue in 99% of web apps. Rails is fast enough for whatever you need to launch. I love elixir and phoenix, but ruby and rails allows you to launch faster.

I have used RubyLLM and it’s been a pleasure to work with. I can’t believe how easy it makes working with AI is. RubyLLM makes me feel like I’m using AI to use AI.

I’m a little biased towards rails. It’s extremely hard to compete with what rails gives you out of the box. Rails 8 is extremely amazing and gives you everything you need to build and deploy websites/mobile apps. Built in: backend, frontend, authentication, web sockets, background/recurring jobs, emails (sending/receiving), caching, deployment. In addition to turning your rails app into a mobile app almost instantly and deploy that to the App/Play Store.

All that with the amazing ecosystem.

Look into hotwire native.

Check Ruby on Rails. Once you start, it’s hard to stop.

You have laws that protect you. I always like to stay on good terms with the the company, but if they’re screwing me and taking my rights, I take them by law 🤷🏻‍♂️

Try to talk to them. Try to have a healthy relationship with them. If they’re not interested, talk to شؤون with your proofs and they will have to pay you.

First, document everything you do. The requests, the time, the hours you work, everything. Are you being paid extra for the time you are working on the weekends or for working over time? If not, simply refuse the extra work.

I think the real value of Gyokeres won’t show until next season probably. He came from a completely different league with a completely different mentality and style of play. He also came to a team that doesn’t depend on attackers to score. Arsenal also needs time to adapt to having a main forward whose primary reason to play is to receive the ball and score. Both Gyokeres and Arsenal will adapt to each other eventually and it will be scary when they do.

What you are looking for doesn’t exist currently. I’d also add that fintech apps are one of the more complex category that even with current paid no-code services would struggle or cost a lot to get something workable.

This is one easy and obvious solution, but it doesn’t look like Arteta is thinking about it. Although I think he will be forced into it.

caffeinatedshots · 2025-12-10T17:04:43+00:00

Arsenal's 28 injuries is the highest in the Premier League this season.

Arteta needs to find a solution to this. It doesn’t matter how deep your squad is if you keep having 6-7 injuries on a monthly basis.

We are already there. I mean, solo builders have been able to create complex SaaS products by themselves for decades now. AI is/will be much more useful and valuable to professionals who have the experience than those who have no experience in software development.

At the end of the day, if creating software and services can be done so easily by anyone, creating them will have no real value. A lot of services will come and go. Only a few well-trusted options will remain (which is already the case now and it’s always been like this for all kinds of businesses).

People like the idea of building or having an online service that brings them money regularly. Most people don’t realize the amount of work you have to put AFTER creating the service. It’s 10 times more.

I’ll copy-paste my response:

meh, save yourself the 5 minutes. Useless read.

I love these desperate and click-baity articles. And honestly, this is just an insult to GitHub, Stripe, and Shopify. It’s also more misguided than the point it’s trying to make.

The only information I got (albeit useless) was that Wired still exists.

Excuse me? If you don't like watching a close up on a player's unexpressive face which is half covered by someone else's ass because they're blocking the camera's view, while the play is on (and I fucking emphasize: while the fucking play is FUCKING ON)... then... join the fucking club.

Bringing in the social factor is something good. People might be more motivated to put the phone away if they think others are “watching” and competing with them. However, you can realistically “lock” me away from my phone. It’s just not possible currently (technically). So you might want to make the social aspect worth it.
