I've been doing Rails for literally decades. I understand the magic but I still struggle to figure out what's going on in larger codebases. The amount of context you have to pull in to understand what a particular block of code is doing can be huge.

Rails is 17 years old.


That's based on the 1.0 release. Many of us were using rails before 1.0, which is not quite 20 years, but it's close enough.


Yep I've been using since some the beginning.
