Ruby on Rails Developer Job Board > Railsjob.com nPost — Connecting Startups with Talent Since 1999 How to Find a Good Rails Developer | TimeForBlogging Before I get into the details of finding your next rails developer, I thought a bit of background would be worth sharing. One of the earliest tactical mistakes I made as I developed my web platform at BiggerPockets was to convert the application from PHP to Ruby on Rails. I was fairly skilled in PHP, and what I didn’t know, I could at least hack . . . with Rails, I’m just completely out of touch. While I’ve been very happy with Rails overall, this all presents one major problem: I can’t review code from developers to determine the quality of their work. In working with dozens of independent contractor developers over the past 5 years, I’ve had the full gamut of talent: from absolute crap to amazing — astonishingly, many of the crap coders have had fantastic references. So what can someone like me do? Frankly, I think it is somewhat of a roll of the dice for someone to hire a developer when they don’t have a background in that language, but over time you do get better. The Rails Job Sites
Outsourcing to freelance programmers, web & logo designers, copywriters, illustrators and consultants Offshoring : délocaliser les prestations informatiques pour alléger les budgets La facture fina le d'une prestation informatique dépend largement du coût de la main d'œuvre. D'où l'idée de certaines entreprises anglo-saxonnes de délocaliser une partie de ces tâches dans des pays disposant à la fois d'une main d'œuvre bien formée et de salaires plus bas : on parle d'offshori ng. Le phénomène, qui s'est développé à la fin des années 90, avec le développement des télécommunications et d'Internet, a largement profité à l'Inde. Selon la chambre professionnelle du secteur informatique sur le sous-continent, le Nasscom, 2,5 millions de personnes sont aujourd'hui employées dans les services informatiques sur place. Et une large partie d'entre elles travaille sur des projets pour des entreprises étrangères. "En France, ce phénomène ne s'est développé qu'avec retard, à partir de 2004", explique Simon Philibert, responsable des études au sein du cabinet Pierre Audoin Consultants (PAC). Grève contre l'offshoring à la SNCF Plusieurs facteurs expliquent ce décalage.
The Talent Problem Isn’t Solving Itself, Here’s One Startup’s Campaign to Help By Erin Griffith On July 10, 2012 Everyone has some sort of twist on the startup recruiting problem. VCs have elaborate programs and networks of talent they offer their portfolio companies. Meanwhile companies go to desperate lengths to attract talent with over-the-top perks and big equity stakes. Recruiters lurk on Github or StackOverflow. Coders, developers, and designers are in high demand; a startup’s success or failure depends on its ability to sop up talent. And yet! Roberson says the problem is actually exacerbated by the poor economy, because startups are viewed as risky. This is why his company is campaigning all summer to fill 10,000 startup jobs by November. The idea is that the more noise startups make about jobs, the more attention, legitimacy, and hopefully talent, they will attract. In some ways the idea of turning economic growth into a “cause” is a little unsavory to me. But that’s why I like StartUpHire’s approach.

Remember, This Stuff Is Supposed To Be Fun I distinctly remember the tribulations my father went through in his career. He worked hard to achieve an MBA from a prestigious business school. The degree opened up many opportunities for him, but I don't think he ever found exactly what he was looking for. We moved throughout my childhood, travelling from job to job, never staying in one place for more than a year or so. I'm not sure he ever found work that satisfied him, even to this day. It can take a long time to figure out what you want out of your work life. Like my Dad, I spent many years after college flitting from job to job. At some point in your career, you have to stop floating through life like the symbolic feather in Forrest Gump. Unfortunately, I don't think my father ever figured out what he loved to do. Life is too short to stay at a job where you're not doing the things you want to do, where you're not enjoying yourself. A close friend of mine works for a company that has experienced a mass exodus of developers.
Stop Looking For A Technical Co-founder Editor’s Note: Alexey Komissarouk is a CS senior at the University of Pennsylvania and founder of the PennApps Hackathon. This article is based on an earlier talk to the Wharton MBA Entrepreneurship Club. “How many of you want to start a company?” David Tisch asked. All hundred hands went up. That’s why we were there, crowded into a Wharton classroom to seek startup advice from an industry luminary. “Keep your hand up if you are technical.” “Keep your hand up if you are looking for co-founders.” Most quality software engineers today have offers of amazing work environments and 6-figure salaries from the likes of Google and Facebook. Your odds are bad. Focus on building your company instead. 1) Learn to code Pre-dodgeball I went thru 3-4 years thinking I was going to meet some magical engineer who would build all the stuff I was thinking about.
