This seems like a slightly gussied-up version of "Ruby developers smell bad." It's just a bunch of ad hominem against the Ruby community with no substance to justify it. If you had accused the Ruby community of valuing cool new tricks over solid engineering seven years ago, it might have been a little bit realistic, because the Ruby community was small and starry-eyed back then and there wasn't a whole lot of battle-hardened code.
But nowadays? Rails is actually quite mature and a lot of work has gone into its engineering. It has a security team and they take these things very seriously. You might not feel they're doing well enough, but accusing them (based on no evidence whatsoever) of being obsessed with "shiny" things is not the way to express that concern.
This is not to say that you can't use whatever you want, obviously. Just that you seem to be throwing around dated stereotypes in service of a language pissing match rather than critically analyzing the merits of the framework.
