If you had read my post carefully you would have seen that I know how fast rails is and how it scales (or we wouldn't be using the framework). I was merely commenting on Zed's point about rails when it began and basecamp 3 years ago. I laugh at restarting once every 4 minutes because it's absolutely ridiculous if true. I haven't been writing for techcrunch for a while, so direct your criticism of the blog to its editor and current writers. And seriously, an anonymous guy calling someone a moron because he has an opinion is hilarious - don't hide yourself the next time, bud. I love me a good troll.

Do you have the amount of users BaseCamp has ? Or would you have a tiny fraction of them... The problems Twitter has/had, would it be because of that too ? (and the way data gets updated) There are good and bad on everything, so vapor-comments like yours add nothing to this (yah, mine included). Zed is a fairlygood programmer and a very smart guy. The thing is, commenting on rants like those, he sees you guys like THE morons. Final words: - don't laugh on Basecamp restarts... - yah, Techcrunch sucks Maybe you should try getting some accuracy on numbers before commenting on rants.

But it is a simple platform, and it is easy to do balancing and HA that scales almost in a linear fashion. I must say that I like the Agile Web Development with Rails, 2nd Edition (ISBN 0977616630). It gives a good overview of the framework while giving the user some pointers of software developing. I guess the thing with Rails is the same with any other framework, 95% of the time the error is human error and not with the system.
