All right, Ruby developers, don't... Please wait, wait, wait before you start hammering and going to the comments section. I wanna really embrace the Ruby developers today. And even before you guys start bashing, hold on, give me an opportunity to really start to make my case here. I think everybody's gonna be happy with this video because I've been known in the past to say, don't use Ruby, it's a dying language. Leave it alone, which in certain cases, that's the truth. But I wanna make sure I put things in perspective so that everybody can know where I am. And there's still value in Ruby. There's a lot of legacy code out there still written in Ruby. You got place, I think Shopify or something like that is still written in Ruby to this day. So there's people still pushing the Ruby code out there and it's not gonna go anywhere anytime soon. But I wanna make sure if you're struggling as a Ruby developer, we give you a course of action that's gonna help you maintain your Ruby skills but also position you in the future as well. And guys, don't bash Ruby developers, at least not yet. Wait till the five minutes more. But yeah, we're gonna do that here. So at the end of the day, guys, let's talk about the problem. Problem with Ruby developers, guys. As a programming language compared to other options on the market, there's better options. But we're talking about if you're a brand new developer starting the day with no experience, you're trying to learn how to code and you're wanting to pick a language, do not pick Ruby because unless you have a job, somebody often you a job and you've been struggling to find work anywhere else and you've been doing this for months, even years and you finally found an opportunity and they like, you gotta learn Ruby, learn Ruby. But if it's not that you don't have any job prospect, you're just picking just to learn, stick with the PHP, stick with the Python, stick with JavaScript and then expand from there to the Java's, the C sharp to C, C plus plus all in that area, guys. That's the roadmap by how I suggest most developers in 2021. That being said, for Ruby, if you already have Ruby skills, you've been in the game for Ruby for a while, you had work, you know the frameworks, you know Rails, all that stuff and you just really wanna continue to leverage those skills, then there's opportunities for you guys. Just go in the Google search, lot of legacy companies still use Rails as a framework and they also use Ruby also for a lot of web development and scripting and all that good stuff, guys. But it's all about expectations, it's all about the struggle. Guys, you gotta understand when, you gotta understand when it's time to get off the horse. You've enrolled that wave so long, it's time to move on. But you don't have to move on all at once and that's the key to this video. You don't have to move on all at once as a Ruby developer. You can still develop in Ruby, but acquiring another skill set as well in a different programming language. The good news is as long as you know the fundamentals of programming, loops, arrays, variables, just know how to write code, when to put semi-colors, when to use commas, the syntax from one programming language to another is not that bad. The fundamentals are gonna be the same, you just gotta learn syntax. So if you're a Ruby developer, switching the Python shouldn't be that hard. It shouldn't be relatively easy because you already know the fundamentals. You know a syntax of a programming language, you just gotta do the translation there. You know, I can understand if you're moving more towards a Java C sharp because that was a lot higher, you're moving from a high level language to more of a lower language and it's a lot more code to write. But even then guys, it's still the same. You understand the fundamentals, you just gotta really understand the syntax of a language. And that's why once you got your Ruby developers to take from this video, because at the end of the day, if you're a Ruby developer, you're struggling, first of all, comment below, tell me personally why are you struggling as a Ruby developer? Put that in the comments for me so that we can have a conversation and I can help you really with a roadmap three, five years from now so that you can position your career even with your current skill to advance your career, to make more money, live a lifestyle you wanna live and then put you in a position to win guys. There's ways, there's a lot of demand for software developers. Yeah, they're not just hiring anybody, any Joe Blow, like who know HTML like they used to do in the mid 90s, early 2000s. But at the end of the day, if you experienced, you know what you're talking about, you know how to navigate frameworks, software as stacks and don't screw things up, you're gonna be able to get a job on the market guys. I wanna help you guys out with that. And again, comment below so that you can get your opportunity as well. Also below, if you haven't checked out my Seven Step Guide, go ahead and check that out and it's free. And then after you take the Seven Step Guide, you can also purchase some premium courses to really escalate your development career so that you can get that job you want and really put yourself in a position to learn those projects guys. And a lot of good stuff. But again, let's not bash the Ruby developers. I know there's people who's gonna die on that Ruby ship and I'm not gonna even say that's bad. As long as you die on the ship as your career, as you're retiring, like you're saying you're gonna be retiring in four to five years or even 10 years from now and you just wanna ride that ship down and you're not willing to change, you just, that's what you're gonna program, that's what you're gonna write and that's what you're gonna do right that way. But if you're just starting out guys, don't punch your flag somewhere that you know is not gonna be there in the long run. And again, it's all about perspective, it's all about your opportunity. There may be a city out there that I'm not aware of that is only Ruby developers, only Ruby jobs and it's gonna be thriving and I'm not aware of. If you know about that comment below, but I'm not aware of that. But at the end of the day, you guys can succeed in whatever programming language as long as you know the specific use case of that particular programming language and you are flexible enough to be able to learn more programming language, understand the syntax, take those fundamentals you learned from Ruby and really translate that to another software stack. Because if you know the business, you know how to solve industry problems, regardless of the programming language, it's gonna end up being the same end result regardless and that continuous improvements just gonna really take your career to the next level.
