Ask HN: Code with what I know, or expand my horizons
for the past 4 years, I have been coding in PHP, JQuery and MySql.
Recently, I got really bored of those being that I generally just made CRUD apps; nothing that really tickled my fancy. So I decided I was going to learn Ruby on Rails.
I am still learning RoR but I don't yet feel confident to build a whole app in it, but on the other hand I feel like I haven't built anything in awhile.
Should I drop RoR for a week or two and just build something in PHP. Or should I keep going with RoR even though I feel like I'm not really progressing all that much?
