Rails - Jul 2005 - wanted: people with passion who want to build great things

Hello all,

The goal is to build a great company that builds great products.  Our
first project is a rails-based business application.  We want to build
the antidote to complex business software.  Stuff people can use with
5 minutes of setup.  Stuff that people just love because it does just
what they need without sucking the life out of them (money, time,
frustration).

We are looking for one(1) rails developer to work with our front-end
designer/coder.  This is a part-time paid position.  We are looking
for that balance between complete newbie and seasoned
coder/lecturer-on-all-things-rails.  All members of the team have so
far signed up to defer a portion of their compensation until after the
site goes live.

You should know that I am financing this application with my own
blood, sweat, and dollars.  I am hoping that the same passion that
drives me also attracts you to this project.    Please let me know if
it does.

Regards,

Jason Pace (Select Methods, LLC)

A worthy goal. You might find you need to narrow the focus a bit, though.

I''m interested. Would you like me to send you a resume? I''d be
willing
to discuss either deferring a portion of the compensation or perhaps
an interest in the business. Either way, I''d have to see a solid plan
for the direction of the business.

I''m certainly passionate about my work, and I don''t mind
throwing some
of my own sweat into the mix in pursuit of success (dollars are a bit
short, though -- I''m expecting my fourth child in August). If you send
me some more info on the business in general and this project in
specific, I''ll be more than happy to put together a resume for you;
and we can see if we''d be a good fit.
