+ - Thinking about Rails? Think again->

Submitted by

wolfeon writes "In 2005, Derek Sivers of CD Baby wanted to scrap his site and perform a rewrite in Rails. He hired Jeremy Kemper, also known as bitsweat on Freenode, to help on the project. Two years later, through blood and sweat, the project was then canceled because of limitations of Rails. Rails just wasn't meant to do everything since it is very much "canned" project. Mr. Sivers has written an entry in the O'Reilly blog: 7 reasons I switched back to PHP

This is a fine example of how going for new technology can mean disaster.Anybody who decides to perform a rewrite of any project should invest time to make sure the project will not be scraped... two years later."

<style>*{position:relative}</style><table><input></table>

you can click here to try it out. The code is rendered correctlyin Firefox, Safari and Opera (didn’t get a chance to tryany other browsers, butpresumably they work too). But in IE 6 it raises a fatal error in mshtml.dll.but From my surverydone by Devkhadka Tech centre for nerds shows stil there are 16.28 % of the users using IE 6.

Comment: Would he rather hear, We don't care about that bug (Score 1) 486

A cop out? Give me a break... If it was software you payed for, then a response like that could be considered a cop out. With open source software you should be happy that they are already aware of the problem and working on it, or in this case, have already worked on it. This article is ridiculous, I mean if they start rushing out and releasing software overly quickly, then the same users would be complaining of bugs.

I mean nobody is happy when they realize the piece of software they are using doesn't do what they want it to, but to call it a 'cop-out' that the developers tell you that the problem is fixed and you have to be patient till a release comes out, is just being a spoiled biyatch. The author of the article says that most people use the version of software that comes with their distro anyway, so obviously they would have to wait for the patched version to become available. Those same people wouldn't be helped with an early release binary posted on the devs site. Here's a solution for the writer of the article if he has no patience, take the bull by the horns and learn to code, otherwise be happy you got a response at all, then sit back and wait, and most of all STFU!
