A Day in the Life of a Ruby on Rails Developer

### What are some challenges developers are facing right now in that world? It’s a bit of a Catch-22 in our job: you need to work on the cutting edge, but once a technology is mature, you have a lot of legacy. So you’re actually writing tomorrow’s legacy. Today, Ruby teams have a lot of legacy code to deal with. Experimenting a lot is going to leave you with a lot of half-baked or half-failed experiments as well. In the Rail space, a lot of people are living with this big Rails application and it can be hard to deal with. Dealing with legacy is the bane of a developer’s life.
