Since 2017, I have used various JavaScript frameworks for my website bigmachine.io. But in March 2024, everything changed - I abandoned everything and rewrote the site from scratch using Ruby on Rails.

About the Author: Big Machine

Big Machine thumbnail

Big Machine is the personal teaching platform of Rob Conery, a US developer best known for co-founding Tekpub (an early online dev-video platform later acquired by Pluralsight), authoring The Imposter's Handbook, and a long string of pragmatic developer books on PostgreSQL, Ruby on Rails, and the broader full-stack ecosystem.

His CourseFlix listing carries five Big Machine courses: The Imposter's Roadmap, The Imposter's Frontend Accelerator, PostgreSQL Fundamentals, Revisiting Rails, and AI for Developers With Deadlines. Material is paid and aimed at working developers — particularly those who came into software from non-traditional backgrounds and want to fill the foundational gaps without starting from scratch.
