One question: 37 Signals' websites have long been the "poster boy" for the Ruby on Rails approach to development. Yet my perception is that Basecamp (for instance) has changed very little in the last couple of years, feeding my intuition that RoR sites are easy to build and hard to extend/maintain.
What are his experiences maintaining a mature RoR site, and what would he do differently next time around?
