I hear you. The best team I've been in was a rails core dev, me and a trainee with a good portion of modern frontend skills. We build amazing (boring) software, I am sure most of it still in use even thought they don't do rails anymore when our team split away.

I think that is also the general idea. You only need one or two expensive rails guys and some other people who don't find MVC weird, willing to learn, to setup a proper efficient team for any project.

I am in the same boat, but jumping back. Folks at the non ruby company all had fond memories of rails apps and missed the simplicity. The tangled mess of TypeScript was a disaster codebase with massive tech debt.
