This page is a personal blog post on a site called random internet person rambling. It responds to a question about whether Ruby on Rails still makes sense now that large language models can generate code cheaply and may keep improving. The author frames the discussion around a common implication: if writing code is now inexpensive, why not rewrite everything in Rust?
The core argument is that frameworks and abstractions remain valuable for the same reasons they always were. The post lists structure, avoiding reinventing the wheel, security updates, free performance improvements, and new features from updates as key benefits. It also extends the logic to libraries, programming languages, databases, and operating systems.
The author’s central point is that anything designed to make a human more productive at writing code will also make an LLM more productive. The post is aimed at developers curious about technology choices in the age of AI-assisted coding, especially those questioning whether established frameworks are still worth using.
As a short opinion piece, it is best read as a starting point for discussion rather than a detailed technical comparison. Developers considering a rewrite or a new stack can use it to weigh the ongoing value of abstractions against the appeal of starting from scratch.
