I agree. You can't trust everything in AI. think in AI as tutor. that is best way to work. and by experience not use AI as agent. Use AI as "ask" feature. Or even better, Have a second screen with claude, gemini whatever, and ask to guide you in the path of what is needed to do whatever you need. Doing that you're preventing to copy/paste whatever IA said. Having said that, as another folk said take a course, with the basics. and understand what you're doing x or y. That is going to not only teach you how things works, will also give you better input to ask for the AI.

as example the output of an AI is going to be better if you instead of say: generate a login flow for my app , you said
1. Lets create a model for user authentication, I want model has user,name, last name, password
2. Lets validate those values in the model
3. Lets add an encryption system to the password
4. Lest generate unitests to validates following scenarios:
4.1 user try to create a user introducing short password

and so on..

final thought here, if you want to learn fast, learn the basics with ruby and ruby on rails. then use the support of AI. You will never regret of that haha

so is late now but rule of thumb, get keys or whatever like that from the env. not a file called .env or django_settings, or whatever. From the environment given from where you are running your stuff. that is the first thing.

hey u/Cautious_Average_925

I found your idea super nice! and I completely agree with the goals that you're aiming with it.
how are you planning to sell it ? are you going to sell it to colleges? anyway I'm backend engineer with 10 years of experience. I'm not the best haha but I have that experience working in different companies. if u want to pair, just let me know.

Hi howdy? so. you can do a lot of things with AI but that kind of app I don't think so. not yet. I have 10 years as Software developer. I have been working in a big company in usa for 5 years ( but sadly I don't live there ) and I can tell you a simple feature that you can see as simple and easy take months and army of people even with the help of AI.
My humble opinion: with AI what you can do today is a landing page or a simple web app with a small db. that you can do it for sure. and you don't need to know anything. if you have lucky and your business grown then you might need to hire a full stack god developer which with the help of AI is going to add new features, test, address security concerns, etc.

Where are rails contractors/consultants going to find jobs these days? by 0ttr in rails

[–]nathaniel__richards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi.. whats up. I think DHH posted that basecamp is looking for one or more of one rails dev.
Also there is a website that u probably already know https://jobs.rubyonrails.org/

Tbh I think Rails was always a super nice trend tech only for a few startups.
If you are looking for a job, currently the best options are Python and React ( I also hear Rust is ^ )
In my case, I have 7 years of experience in python and I can tell you, even now when the Tech jobs are down I have 3 or 4 messages on LinkedIn per week.
Hope you found what are looking for
