I’m not going to take this week’s (very obvious) bait about how “Vanilla Rails is plenty”.In the past, I’ve spent effort watching DHH’s videos and issuing a (time-stamped) rebuttal, and writing up about a new Rails feature I would consider harmful.I even wrote a book called Maintainable Rails that offers my take on how to build a maintainable Rails application. A whole 30,000 words of it!I am not going to follow that pattern today, even though the vanilla Rails article is concerning.You know, if their apps were maintainable, then they wouldn’t need to keep re-writing them completely, yeah?.
