Thank you all for the kind comments! The Rails community has always been supportive to me. Even criticisms were done in a constructive manner.

I will go into detail on why I stopped RailsCasts in part 3, but I will say it wasn’t because of the community. You all have been awesome.

In the late 2000s and early 2010s, I was working as a C# developer in a big, old, traditional enterprise environment. I had burned out and I was falling out of love with programming.

A friend introduced me to Ruby and I became excited again. Railscasts helped me immensely in being able to very quickly build things. This motivated me to continue and before long I was able to change jobs and start using Ruby and Rails full time.

Thanks.

This pretty much sums up my story exactly as well.

The intangibles on this effort are huge!

Thank you :)

Thank you!

Everything I am and every single penny I've earned can be attributed back to you or M. Hartl. I'm so happy I stumbled into rails 10 years ago.

I thought it was because you weren't making enough... How wrong was I lol. I've made a lot of similar videos though and it's an enormous amount of work.

Railscasts helped me get my first Rails job. Thanks for all you’ve done.
