Today I've had one of those irritating problems with Rails that I know one day I will have again. So, future me when you google it, here is the fix, you're welcome :)
The problem shows like this during rails new new_app
node_modules/node-sass: Command failed.
and
1 error generated.
make: *** [Release/obj.target/binding/src/binding.o] Error 1
gyp ERR! build error

As you can see, the node version used is 16.0.0. At the moment of writing this post, it's a relatively new version and not everything works fine with this.
The solution? Downgrade node.
In my case I did:
npm install -g n
sudo n 14
and that's it.
A possible alternative:
brew remove node
brew install node@14
If this helped you, let me know in the comments, so that I believe in value of such posts even more ;)
