just yesterday i was searching for CMS alternatives. i found dozens in php, but only a single one in ruby. i found that disappointing. python did no better. i found two. there is really no reason for php to be dominating this space.
can't find ruby skills? they are searching for the wrong thing. they should hire an experienced programmer who could learn ruby in a week and not expect someone who has been working exclusively with ruby for the past few years. those people already have jobs.
I don’t disagree with you but they were a small, struggling startup, with a team already formed. Perhaps they made a few wrong calls along the way, it wouldn’t be for me to say as I was there simply to help them tighten their security.
They had a good team, everybody was knowledgeable, approachable and curious. I wish them all the best, and I imagine they’ve been recovering as they’re still alive and kicking years later!
