Never heard of the website. Care to explain what you mean?

How can you say it's not a viable business because they're losing money if you don't know their expenses? Uber & Lyft, (and for many years Amazon) were/are losing money. So that means nothing unless you know why they're blowing through cash.

> the name of the game is leveraging explosive, unsustainable growth into a high rate of return into cheap capital into a big payday for founders

I've come to the conclusion this is the case. Has anyone written on this?

So what? I'd like more money too. Should I simply get more money because I want it?

>evidence that making them more remunerative is beneficial to the economy as a whole.

How so? What difference economically does it make whether a male or female fills a position

or the Acid3 test isn't as useful as it is today. Why do you think the Acid3 test is useful?

He said nothing about what wages the employees make. As a consumer this is not your concern when you think about pricing. I don't care how a company manages it's money. I just care about how much their services cost versus what it's worth to me.

Thanks a lot. I'm going to research this once I get home. You may have just saved my future project time/money.

First, thanks for taking the time to answer my question, I'm at my day job (I program at night) so I can't do much research

>correct a lot of core issues that come up long term with Rails.

I've never gotten to this point, what are some of these issues? From reading comments here, it seems like dependency hell could be one, but what do you think? I've had issues in my short time with outdated gems, but I don't know if this is necessarily an issue with the framework/language.

As someone who has never heard of Elixir/Phoenix, why do you think it's the future. What does it do better than Rails? I'm looking to start a new web application, and I'm open to new technologies.
