"Forget Rails, Learn Ruby" I disagree, Ruby is mostly nothing without Rails. It's a great language, but otherwise has little usage when it comes down to getting a job.

Even though I disagree with you, I didn't explain myself correctly initially.

Rails is a framework. You are not a Rails engineer, you are a Ruby engineer.

I see this a lot with people that started with Rails, they don't understand the basics of Ruby and it's capabilities, they look for "Array comparison Rails" etc...
