I am not a programmer and I am still working on my first rails project using AI and the guides. With that, my experience is mostly positive. I want it to be as simple as possible so not devise, no cable or actiontext or mail etc. (subset) - then I want sqlite for production since I will have max 8000 users - mostly read operations. Importmaps (takes time to get the AI to write js that passes jslint.com), plain css, deploy on apache proxy using systemd. What made me comment was that a while ago I was considering to use VIPS because I heard that its much faster and scales better. But since there was the default minimagick I stuck to that, so I was not disappointed when I read the audit.

A seasoned rails developer would know how to do what I want but I only have the chatgpt which keeps trying to push me to use all these Gems so I can scale to my 2 Billion users when I go IPO...

tl;dr working on my little rails site and learning is a joy.
