I don't mean to say one of us has better bona-fides, only that there is an existence proof to the contrary of your post. You claim that rails' lack of discipline promotes unmaintainable code shepherded by empire-builders; I claim that this is not always so. I gave the numbers I did to emphasize that rails (and rails shops) can succeed even at that scale.
Not sure what I said that came off as an attack on you or your standing. Not my intent.
I don't see an attack either, FWIW
You should work on that. Technical discussion would I think better resume from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44254539 But I haven't said no Rails project ever meets its definition of success. I assumed the scare quotes in my earlier comment would suffice to indicate my argument intended to contradict that definition.
