Comment on Stalin's Rope Roads

Comments

Is this a metaphor for the current state of web development?

If currently produced code would keep on running for 59 years without major incidents (just a new coat of paint every decade or so), that would be amazing.

Well, one major incident, that killed 20 people. But still! A step up!

That was on a tramway of a different type, in another city. The type in Chiatura does have automatic brakes.

But even then – 20 deaths over 60 years is basically nothing (compared to, say, car accidents).

I didn't notice any rails in there.

Yes, there is a company operated rail link specially developed for manganese transportation to the nearest plant.

Note: I'm from Georgia.

It was a pun, referring to Ruby On Rails.
