Why Ruby on Rails Is the Best Stack for Vibe Coding in the Age of AI

The concept of vibe coding is picking up momentum.

For those unfamiliar, vibe coding is a collaborative, human-in-the-loop development approach where large language models (LLMs) handle the heavy lifting of code generation based on natural language prompts. As a developer, you describe what you want, and the AI takes care of writing, adjusting, and even debugging code. You’re no longer bogged down by boilerplate or fiddling with syntax. Instead, you’re shaping the architecture, guiding the logic, and focusing on the why of what you’re building, not just the how.

It’s an exciting shift. But here’s what’s not being talked about enough:
Vibe coding only works as well as the stack you’re using.
And in my experience, across countless projects, dozens of teams, and many languages, Ruby on Rails outperforms the rest when it comes to this new way of building software.

Let’s talk about why.

JetRockets' Paradox: Micromanagement That Saves Projects (Not Kills Them)

"Micromanagement" – what associations come to mind when you hear this word? Anxiety-inducing one-on-ones? A project manager breathing down your neck? "Five-minute" calls that drag on for an hour?

Today, this term often evokes negativity, especially in the IT sphere, where autonomy, maturity, and trust are valued. It's believed that a well-planned project runs without excessive control – and this is certainly logical. But there are things that are not always easy to admit, even to oneself. For example: 
at JetRockets, we do use micromanagement 
And sometimes it turns out to be the best solution for the team and our partners. Not because we want to control everything, but because in certain situations, micromanagement isn’t about control — it’s about care. It’s about attention to detail and a deep sense of responsibility for the outcome, ensuring high-quality software for our non-tech partners.

In this post, we want to show a different side of micromanagement — one that rarely gets mentioned in blogs, but often helps save real projects, whether it’s software development for startups or supporting long-standing projects.

Precise Estimates: Myth or Reality?

We planned. We tried. And we failed.

Whenever our client asks, "How many hours will this feature take?" I always think:
If I were paid a dollar for every time I get asked this, I'd have a startup explaining why an exact estimate is impossible.”

But no startup yet. And the thought remains: no one knows for sure. And that’s okay

When I first started in project management, I didn’t believe this. I was sure: everything could be calculated, everything could be anticipated, everything could be controlled. I’d tell the team: “We can handle this; we just need the right method.” I believed in a system that could be mastered through logic. But over time, I came to realize:

Accurate estimates are a myth — one that’s easy to believe in, but a myth nonetheless.

Now, I’ll share how we came to this understanding, what we tried, what went wrong — and how JetRockets handles estimates today.
