I had to look up "omasake", but I admit I still don't understand its use in this context. ELI5?
It's "omakase" (in the words of Wikipedia) :

> Omakase is a Japanese phrase, used when ordering food in restaurants, that means 'I'll leave it up to you' (from Japanese 'to entrust' (任せる, makaseru))

See the article:

"Rails is Omakase" by David Heinemeier Hansson on Dec 27, 2012

> Rails is omakase. A team of chefs picked out the ingredients, designed the APIs, and arranged the order of consumption on your behalf according to their idea of what would make for a tasty full-stack framework.
