Tbh, if you're already using rails the odds that you'll need svelte / react are pretty low. Sometimes you might, and those pages can pull those in, but generally speaking you can do a lot with Turbo and Stimulus.
I mean, it just totally depends on the application. It does add complexity, sure.
Turbo, stimulus, have their own pitfalls. I have worked with them a fair amount and have ran into headaches. Also, React has a massive community / ecosystem of ready made components, plugins, tutorials, etc. Turbo and stimulus are getting better on that front, but it is nowhere close, and many situations/patterns you have to figure out yourself.
Theres weird hate on React from a portion of the rails community that seems unwarranted. Probably because of some of DHH's commentary.

Not shocking.
What about Rails and Svelte? While many people are doing things with full stack Rails, there are just as many using Rails (whether as a monolith or separate backend from frontend deployments) with modern JS.
Actually, in recent Rails versions the mistakes of Webpacker have been replaced with much more flexible gems for building frontend assets with esbuild, vite, or any other build tool.
This gives the ability to seamlessly blend the nice pre packaged rails ecosystem with the nice ecosystem of react components or other modern frontend tooling most people are using.
I close this comment with mentioning: you still may not need all of that new stuff! What does your app actually do?

Yeah. I interviewed with a startup at the beginning of this year and the Engineering Director was telling me how he brought his friends on-board like it was some sort of selling point. People he has known since high school. Hard pass.
Friends plural is slightly worrisome, but we're they qualified for the positions?
I personally love the idea of recruiting friends and working alongside them. Obviously I could see this going both ways, but given that everyone is qualified I don't see the problem.

Because it’s just people arguing on conjecture that folks they disagree with are mentally ill. He is quite obviously sane if you hear him speak.
Did you not watch the Netflix documentary? The last episodes contained many non-obviously-sane conversations. Especially the one where he was talking to bankers at one of their vacation homes.

I think if you follow along with Kanye, it is obvious it is beyond normal celebrity "insanity". I feel bad for him because I really grew up listening to his music and still have a soft spot in my heart for him, but he has some incredible delusions it would seem in the last 5-10 years.

My only complaints with the new LOTR and Game of Thrones shows is that they seem to be rushing through the story. Part of the appeal of the originals (movies... series.. respectively) is that they feel like more of a "quest" or long adventure, with side stories and character development. Obviously this made for longer content and it took years for GoT to finish, as well as LOTR being longer movies (especially with the extended cuts).
These new series seem to jump around time and traveling much quicker. Overall, I still am enjoying them though and don't understand a lot of the internet criticism.
Investing in communities gives people things to do. People can't invest when they're broke, throwing police at them does nothing to help, in fact it does the opposite.
Also your comment makes it sound like literally all people are just vandals who do graffiti. That's a disgusting view of humans that lacks perspective and nuance.
I feel like you didn't read the Wikipedia? Where are you getting your take.
To each their own, I guess. I also pay for Apple Music and have access to all that music, but there is no substitute for curation with a sense of taste and musical direction.
For me, having access to all the music in the world is only marginally better than what I had before when buying CDs (or records even); I don't listen to more music than before. What I really love, instead, is being introduced to a new track that captures my interest, a track that I know I will be listening to multiple times in the future. The quality, and the fact that I would have probably not have found it by myself, or not liked it without the context.
When I was younger, when I had enough pocket money, I would go to the record store, and the problem wasn't how to get a CD, because they had oh so many!, but what CD to get. For this, I relied on friends, radio stations, and the shop keepers. They all had a good portion of the music world in their head, with their own taste and opinion about what's interesting, and I found many gems this way. Automated recommendations don't quite do it for me, nor I have been lucky with other people's playlists; I gotta get acquainted with the curator first in order to trust their curation.
So I listen to SomaFM, and when something gets me interested I go and buy it or add it to my library. Best of both worlds!
To be honest, Pandora has served that role for me over the years. I am always amazed to look back at my Pandora station history to see how it has evolved into different streams/genres, all stimulated from hearing new music through a Pandora channel, and then starting a new station after I liked it. This has created a web of new music I wouldn't have sought out otherwise.
Obviously, I do think that a human DJ may perform this role better in some cases/genres though.
