When i was doing sinatra i thought it was quite a tedious process, there were good amount of hard coding. I have to set up the entire structure as well, i was hoping here would be a better or easier way to automate the entire process. Then came rails, which is like a much more abstract than sinatra. Things that took me an hour to do on sinatra due to occasional human made mistakes were being automated in matter of minutes by rails. When i started using rails it truly felt like magic compare to sinatra, i know i was building on the foundation of sinatra but it was truly amazing how simple it make the entire coding process. I truely understand what does it mean by building from the grounds up.
