Learning from the past is exactly is necessary to become a professional
developer.

Everyone's definition of professional a lot of times are different.

You can get some books merely on Ruby and Rails and start doing simple work
like creating simple websites for shops, etc, and that might already
considered professional to some.

To be competent to handle complex and hard requirements, simply copy and
pasting how to do things in Ruby won't be enough.

You'll actually have to understand how ruby's garbage collector work, how to
optimize performance, how to tune Rails (or any server), handle
load/security, etc.

And all of these things requires you to first understand how the computer
works, and slowly progress to understand "why" ruby is designed this way and
how you should use this.
