Uhmm my understanding of the article is that you use Rails to get you started, but then you optimise.
I've taken that path myself, started with Rails and as demand grew we slowly spread into microservices across different languages. Twitter, Github, etc all did that.
Nobody is saying you stick with Rails forever. Some companies maybe don't even make it that far to reach performance issues that require badass infrastructures.
Once a jobbing developer I have since moved into Management. I continue with a couple of hobby projects to ensure I don't go mad. I focus on iOS/Swift and ROR.

The GitHub site is still RoR but many of the services behind are not anymore. That's the sort of hybrid approach I'm taking about
