RoR enables developers to make a lot of progress on their app in a short amount of time... initially. Most developers have never seen a legacy Rails app, or are still in the self-deluded "this time it'll be different" phase. So they jump wholeheartedly into the Rails ecosystem and build their app the "rails way". Not knowing the pitfalls, they fall into all of them. A few years later, you have a successful Rails app with (1) slow, data-coupled tests (2) spaghetti code in your models and controllers (3) probably dockerized, relies on heavily outdated linux version and no one can update it within a sprint so it never happens. So they hire "senior rails" devs and throw them at the problem (after all, the initial setup speed of Rauls allowed them to be successful and have money now).
