These people who refer to them selves as a "Rails Engineer" (or substitute any other language/framework) and fail to realize that there are other tools in the box are of course first against the wall in the AI-driven future.

A carpenter who only knows how to use a hammer isn't a very good carpenter.

Why is Rails a hammer not Milwaukee/DeWalt/Makita/etc? A carpenter with only DeWalt brand power tools will do just fine.

  • Not if the job provides only Makita.

    And before you say "a carpenter can switch from DeWalt to Makita just fine": that's why the analogy was made with a hammer.
