I just found out about The Odin Project, a self-paced online course to learn full stack web development. There are two paths: one is Ruby on Rails and the other is full JavaScript and nodejs. I am leaning more towards Ruby but I wanted to get some more opinions from folks in the field.

Yeah, which makes Ruby one of those languages like COBOL, you can make a lot of money if you're in that world, but I wouldn't ever recommend that someone should try and join that world, it's going to be too hard to get in to and it might not stick around for long. I know some people that make a lot of money working in Ruby, but that doesn't mean that anyone can, unlike javascript which will be valuable anywhere
