This turned up on RailsPays a minute ago.<br>Looks like the exact job you were dreaming of?<br>========================<br><p class="heading">RoR Refactoring Contract work</p>
<p><span class="label">Location:</span> London (Remote candidates considered)</p>
<p><span class="label">Company:</span> <a href="http://vzaar.com/" target="new">vzaar</a></p><p>Our current code base is a prototype that grew into the production
platform. As a result the code base is in need of some refactoring work
to<br>
- Develop a full test suite for the package<br>
- Work with our lead developer to refactor the code <br>
- Work with our lead developer to develop a suitable API<br>
- Implement new visual changes to some of the pages built by our lead
designer (If we're re coding the page we might as well put in some
design changes)</p>========================<br><a href="http://www.railspays.com/jobs/view/98">http://www.railspays.com/jobs/view/98</a><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/5/8 Eleanor McHugh <<a href="mailto:eleanor@games-with-brains.com">eleanor@games-with-brains.com</a>>:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">a consultant to come in and tidy up a Ruby and/or Rails codebase: introduce/enforce naming conventions; increase code legibility; performance tuning and optimisation; etc.?<br>
<br>
I ask for the simple reason that three months of looking for a permanent Rails role have left me with the distinct impression that my reputation scares the living daylights out of many of those who interview me, and the rest don't think they have any sufficiently senior roles to offer! I seriously doubt I'm too good to work for other people and would love someone to prove me right in this, but just in case I'm considering a return to consultancy ;)<br>
<br>
Also if anyone knows of a funded startup looking for either a Technical Architect or CTO who can code as well I'd be very interested in hearing from you. Anything to relieve the monotony of a long hot summer (air conditioning a must lol).<br>

Being and Doing are merely useful abstractions for the time-dependent asymmetry of phase space.<br>
