Ruby (Maybe on Rails) Programmer

"You've got to be willing to change more than you love your code—mistakes are good, rapid iteration is great." We heard the hype, we tried it for ourselves, and we've taken the plunge—we're all in with Ruby on Rails. More joy, less code. Convention over configuration. The whole bit. Better than all that: we're having fun actually building a business around something useful and exciting to designers and digital photographers. Are you somebody who knows exactly what we mean? LuckyOliver, a Campbell, California-based digital photography web site, is looking for a programmer who gets what we're trying to do with the business and knows right how to make it sing on Rails. You've got to be a stellar thinker who knows how move from brainstorm to prototype quick—it's all about momentum. You've got to be willing to change more than you love your code—mistakes are good, rapid iteration is great. You need to be articulate and a good writer—so that the whole team gets it. Things you'll need to know: * Ruby on Rails * MySQL * Subversion We'll help you get into our setup and learn anything you are unfamiliar with. This is a very good environment for an experienced Ruby programmer who is hot to trot with scalability solutions. This position is available immediately, pays competitively and is full-time. You'll be working in our offices in downtown Campbell, where we have parking spaces, a Wii and a good attitude. We're a creative, fun-loving, hard-working team and if you thrive on the energy (read: chaos) of a startup environment, you'll like LuckyOliver. We're a startup founded on a business (ZURB) that's been around for 8 years (read: eons), so we're not going anywhere.

GameLayers is creating a "Passively Multiplayer Online Game" out of surfing the web. We follow players as they browse, giving them points and character profiles in an ongoing Massively Multiplayer Online Game built around playful web annotation. Our game is called PMOG, and our company is called GameLayers (http://www.gamelayers.com/). The pmog.com backend is a Ruby on Rails site that talks to a FireFox extension. We're looking for Ruby/Rails developers to work at our offices in San Francisco with experience of REST, Ajax, gaming and web browsing!

(volunteer) Ruby On Rails coder with GD or RMagick experience

Kickstart70 — Mon, 28 Aug 2006 23:13:13 -0800

I've got an idea for a site, but I don't want to develop it all on my own. I do have experience with RoR and command-line Imagemagick, but I'm not fantastic with either. I'd WAG (wild ass guess) 2 person weeks of coding effort, but there is no rush for that. I don't want to go into the details of the project here, because I'd rather it be publicly released (as a Project on this site) properly when it's ready. Assuming it gets completed and there are ads one the site, I'll gladly split 50-50 whatever comes out of it.
