Hi Chris<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Since you asked for comments; </div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>I suspect your starting offer is a bit low, but that could be because I'm more used to London salaries. But then again, I would have thought the pool of Ruby programmers in, or willing to relocate/commute to Winchester is quite small, so you might have to sweeten your offer accordingly.</div>
<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Also, I'm not sure asking for humility is entirely wise. I haven't noticed that being a common trait amongst coders! According to Larry Wall, laziness, impatience and hubris are a better bet;</div>

To be fair, he does talk about Diligence, Patience, and Humility too;</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><a href="http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/larry.html">http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/larry.html</a></div>
<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>...but those never seemed to get quite as much traction!</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Best of luck with your search.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder">

<div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div>Hi all</div><div><br> </div>Seems there are plenty of rails freelancers these days, but are there any rails NON-freelancers looking for a job? Perhaps everyone on this list has bags of experience, but I was hoping to hire a couple of entry-level developers and I've not had much success so far :-(<div>
<br> </div><div>So, anybody want to recommend someone? I'll buy you something nice if we end up hiring them :-)</div><div><div><br> </div><div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px">
