This is very interesting. At my company we've had problems with finding senior Rails devs, which constrasts with the "great resignation" theory.
I think that the pool of senior RoR devs is restricting nowadays (due to the framework/language's loss of appeal), but the is a small number of Rails big techs (and famous companies, including 37signals) that are still very desirable, so they may not have problems in finding candidates.
Indeed, and presumably given DHH’s philosophy, 37signals intends to be in business for a very long time.
How will they ensure a stable pipeline of experienced RoR engineers?
Sidenote - IMO Django and RoR are unmatched in developer productivity - all modern alternatives have mind-numbing levels of boilerplate and bike shedding.
You’re wrong, Rails is still very much alive. Also the idea of x language developer is outdated, as long as you know the language and framework and have done more than nothing with it there’s more flexibility these days especially for senior engineers.
