It doesn't matter if Rails is well suited for AI or not. Now, there's less incentive and reasons to use it.

When I started as rails dev in 2013, it was really the top solution for producing MVP fast. Now, I don’t think that’s the case and most of the incentives are gone if we are no longer writing code by hand
I prefer a Rails backend, especially in the agentic world.
With an agent on a greenfield is when I’m most reliant on a framework for good standards and a clear architecture.
This is one of the things Rails does really well.
So what would you pick for producing an MVP web app fast that you also want to run in production, maintain, patch and scale that has a solid eco-system of pre-built libraries you can just plug in to solve problems?
