>I know that many of you will say Ruby is doing fine...

You have described what I have been crying about since 2016.

Rails is definitely in a negative feedback loop. And I am not even sure if Shopify and Github are enough to pull it out.

And there are lots of reddit threads about Junior Ruby Developers unable to find a job. As nearly all jobs are looking for Senior Dev.

The only way to solve a problem is to accept it is a problem. And right now as you said, most still think the ecosystem is doing fine.

This is true for basically every tech stack though. The pandemic gave a lot of people a chance to change careers, so there's a lot of fresh blood looking for work right now across the board, and not enough space to hire and then mentor them.

This. Juniors will have a hard time in any tech. It's not like employers are gonna be impressed with a junior node dev - wow how special a junior that want's a node job, never met one before. There are millions of javascript developers, maybe tens of millions, it couldn't be any harder to distinguish yourself by learning javascript nowadays.
