<p>Hi Peter - thanks for doing this.<p>I'm currently on a H1B and transitioning to an E3 visa. However, I did get married to a US Citizen and am also applying for my green card via marriage. I need to move to the E3 as my H1B maxes out before I can get a green card. I have a few questions:<p>* The E3 visa is a non-immigrant visa, but I assume getting married to a US citizen implies immigrant intent. My lawyers tell me it's not an issue as long as I wait 90 days after getting the E3 to apply for the green card. Does that sound right / any concerns?<p>* How long are you seeing current wait times for the marriage based green card end to end after applying? I'm mostly concerned about not being able to leave the country for 1-2 years (even with filing advanced parole)<p>* I'm also going for the employment based green card and we've filed my PERM (3 months ago). That doesn't really seem like it;s going to work out in time for it to matter. Does that sound right?</p>

<p>I've been using Rails for the past 6 or 7 years. The biggest positive is that almost any feature you need is available as a gem. We're using for an early stage startup right now, and it's crazy how quickly we've been able to crank out features. I've looked at the JS and Python ecosystems, and haven't seen the same mature ecosystem.<p>I don't disagree with your point around large Rails apps becoming un-maintainable. I think as long as you have a few developers who have dealt with big Rails app and know what to avoid (concerns, fat models, etc), it's not too hard to write a maintainable app in Rails.</p>

<p>Rails + Postgres for MVP. Very quick to prototype (you can build a CRUD app with a few commands) and fairly flexible. Then when you want to scale you can add a JS framework if you need and use Rails for the API piece.</p>

<p>Yes - a common way to exploit a stack overflow is to basically "write code" in the stack and then execute it. If the stack isn't executable, you can't execute the "code you wrote" in the stack.</p>
