channel poll: we may have a need for a Rails developer in early 2018; PM me if interested or you know anyone
up_the_irons: full-time or contract?
Is Rails still a thing people use? Feels like years since I've heard the term.

<brycec> Is Rails still a thing people use? Feels like years since I've heard the name.
lol
brycec: I have two VMs here running a rails app that I use everyday :P
I guess you don't hear about it since its a much more mature framework now so it doesn't get the usual buzz
And technically there's a distinction between "a rails app" and RoR ;) (We use Sinatra at work, which is built atop Rails but isn't RoR.)
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon its Ruby on Rails for the app server (Puma and sidekiq), the streaming server is in node.js
:o
nice!
(But not on ARP :P )
yeah mine are on Linode
mastodon.zombocloud.com is my personal instance, tenforward.social is the public one
Excellent :)
I've been a Rails dev for the past 10+ years and work hasn't slowed down, if that answers anything.
Lefty: contract
That's what she said!!
mike-burns: i know the feeling :)
BryceBot: yeah, rails is still used a lot
but also node has taken over for a lot of things...
