All this drama has me worried. I'm unemployed and I've been doing ruby on rails for most of my career. With all the drama lately, do I need to find a different language or framework to work with?

Edit: Just for clarity, I have used a lot more than ruby outside of work.

In my career I have been a "Perl programmer", a "Java programmer", a "Python programmer", a "JS programmer"... the common word in all of these titles being "programmer".

The value you bring to a company should be more than your knowledge of a specific syntax and ecosystem. You get paid to solve problems with computers, strive for that.

Yes you should be branching out. Politics has nothing to do with why.
