The History of Ruby on Rails: Code, Convention, and a Little Rebellion

Ruby on Rails revolutionized web development since its 2004 release. The framework, born from Basecamp's codebase, introduced principles like "Convention over Configuration" and "Optimize for Programmer Happiness." Rails evolved rapidly, incorporating features like RESTful routes, real-time capabilities, and Hotwire for dynamic apps. Its impact continues to shape modern web development practices and developer expectations.
