Finding bugs for something you wrote yourself is easy because you WROTE it and can easily reason about what each method does, what data/methods does it have access to etc. etc.

Anyways, I unfortunately work with Rails and I hate it. To me Rails stresses and encourages bad practices, everything has an implicit environment inherited from a massive hierarchy of classes with their own implicit environment that will only work if the current state of the app matches what each classes assumes it will be.

Data changes and morphs during the initialization and creation of class instances causing shitty bugs. EVERYTHING needs careful consideration of all of these relations and class hierarchies before writing simple things.

Everything is highly coupled and interwoven making a change one place break something somewhere else. Rails should be taught in Universities as a case study in the pitfalls of Object Oriented Design

Also essentially all of the major players have left and moved on to new things. Most Ruby Gems haven't been updated in years!
