Listening to DHH here clarifies to me why I didn't enjoy working in a Rails shop. Rails is opinionated, but opinionated around ways that DHH likes to work and thinks about apps, and seems I just disagree with and/or don't think that way. E.g. his dislike of components and componentizing such as ViewComponents, the suggestion to build your own auth, etc.
Not a knock against Rails, just an observation as to why I couldn't get into Rails even when surrounded by folks who really liked it.
