New comment by gcj in "Ask HN: Would you still choose Ruby on Rails for a startup in 2025?"

gcj — Sun, 02 Feb 2025 03:56:16 +0000

Laravel. But I also like Rails.

I don't really understand people who chooses to MVP a startup writing their own EVERYTHING

Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption Zamperini's life was a series of hard things. Going to the Olympics, surviving a plane crash, then 47 days at sea, then a Japanese concentration camp ...

Very well written as well

I learned math from a lady who would shout all the time, tell us we would amount to nothing and would throw a wooden chalkboard eraser at us.

How the hell can I teach myself to enjoy math?

I feel like Tolstoy and Dostoyevski have produced all the great insights we could possibly have on the human soul.

Go ahead and say Mein Kampf then. If people react in "bla bla bla" way you can go ahead and judge them for not taking the time to think you might actually be playing mind games and not being a total idiot. :D

This reminded me of a friend who has a very serious form of cancer. His monitor died, so I decided to give him one as a gift, since he spends all his time at home doing nothing.

I went with my girlfriend to deliver it and I reminded he used to tape and catalog F1 races and other stuff. I asked if he was watching one of these types and he proceeded to open a large cabinet and give us a tour of his meticulously catalogued and tagged 70's and 80's porn collection.

Also, even though I believe people should be paid for the quality of their work, not their location, props for at least being the most transparent as possible about it.

Marie Antoinette's biography by Antonia Fraser.

Masterfully written, a tidbit of how sexism played a role on making her a historical villain while all the men around her, even the beheaded king, passed on as much less dangerous people.
