I dunno about saving a couple engineer's worth of money -- that's why Rails is massively viable in the first place.

You absolutely can iterate faster with fewer people and less wasted time.

Servers are cheap. People (salaries) are expensive.

(Well.. until servers become expensive due to straight up load/scale, that is.)

Right now we're estimating that our Rails premium = 4X the salary of a San Francisco engineer. But we do have a lot of servers.
