I'm happy to grant that individual parts of modular systems in JS-land are better than batteries-included frameworks like Rails
But there is rarely any mention in the discussion around the trade-offs of:
- not having passive-aggressive power struggles between developers with ambiguously authority on a team about what the tooling should be
- the ability to carry over framework knowledge across teams, projects, and jobs
- that Rails is intentionally an extractive framework (core pieces are extracted from battle-tested apps, not designed from scratch)
- the collective benefit of performance and security updates

If you want people onsite, don't treat them like toddlers. Make the trip worth their time.

Lonely is the user who searches the Internet for an error message and only finds the source code that generates it.

The idea that #git can be used offline is an illusion - you still need connectivity for googling which arguments to pass to what command.
