My observations/surprises/wtfs RE: the yearly @rails survey by @planetargon - a thread
1/n While admittedly the results are biased (survivorship bias, selection bias, fanboy bias, DHH bias etc ;)) I think they paint a very positive picture of Rails's present and future.

2/n Over two-thirds of Rails apps are used in a production company - so Rails is definitely more than a prototyping framework / weekend-sideproject-fun-gizmo / startup-hot-shit-maker, or even a tool used mostly by freelancers/solopreneurs.
3/n Almost half of the applications have been started in the past 6 years. Impressive for a 'dying' framework (as a lots of, cough, other-framework/language-guys are trying to depict)
The other 55% is equally impressive - mature apps (7+ years in production)

4/n Okay this was quite shocking for me: 50% of all Rails guys are on the frontend (and only less than a third are backend devs)?
I'm wondering whether it's more trendy nowadays to say you are a FE (React etc) developer even if you are (partially) working with Rails?
