Don’t be silly. Bad choices are made in all sorts of languages and teams - this has nothing to do with language. High pressure situations can lead teams to make choices they don’t always foresee as bad until after they are paying the consequences.
Sure bad choices are made everywhere, but I was essentially claiming that when a community has a hammer, they will see nails.
Queues are not a ruby specific thing, nor are they particularly pervasive within Rails apps. Having a good framework to handle them doesn’t make it the only tool in the tool belt. On the contrary, the fact that Rails has good tools to fit many different types of system architecture needs is a counterpoint of your assertion.
