Is Ruby on Rails known for crashing often? I’ve been a developer for something like 15 years and don’t understand the backend portion of this meme. Am I missing something?

PBRT, Writing my own emulators, engines and games made me appreciate computer science so much so that I found webdev to be monotonous and boring enough to leave the industry.
Carshing
I've been out of the loop regarding game dev for the last few years, but I somewhat share the "fuck Unity" sentiment. Any one of you folks using Godot? I've heard pretty good stuff about it.
I tried it and I like it a lot. It's so light there is a website you can use godot online in. I like light tools.
I’ve used Godot a bit for hobby projects and I like it. I have only experimented with 2D games but it is the simplicity and flexibility of the scene system that really sets it apart for me, so that should carry over to 3D I imagine. I used Unity in the past (half a decade ago) and compared to that Godot feels more coherent as concepts just fit together in a way they didn’t in Unity. Once you understand scenes and how they communicate you can get pretty far. To achieve the same in Unity I had to learn of and understand more concepts to make it work. This may however also be colored by the fact that my learning Unity and learning programming overlapped so I didn’t have as much background knowledge back then.
I have enjoyed using gamemaker, but they changed to a subscription model I heard.
more like SQLAlchemy is always "carshing".
rails, although slow, is pretty damn stable if your code isn't absolute trash.
this was made by a friend who uses rails with ruby...and is ass at ruby
understandable, given i picked up that language barely a week ago.
also, about rails crashing - it was bc rails wasn't importing ActiveSupport::LoggerThreadSafeLevel::Logger properly.
another reason i dont like rails is the sheer complexity of its project structure (seriously, 20 dirs/files for an empty project? django compared to that is like a feather to an anvil) - although some of its components (like active record) are admittedly fairly good, when used in isolation (if it wasn't for the fact that migrations don't work as rails is broken)
