Friends- I have taken a new job and will be moving at the end of March. The newspaper I currently work for is looking for someone to take my place. I have really enjoyed working here. It is a great environment with very nice people to work with. And the best part is you get to develop in Ruby and Rails, for everything! The paper is willing to accept applications from people who would need relocation and would help them with the move as well. You would continue work on my largets rails application to date http:// yakimaherald.com . And I would be working with you remotely to get you aquainted with the code base here and all that. This is a great job as the lead developer. You get to choose your own technologies and implement things as you see fit. You don''t have to be a master rails programmer to apply either, there are not a lot of rails aware people here in Yakima so any experience with rails is in your favor. Here is the full job posting: http://jobs.rubynow.com/jobs/show/201 You can also send me an email off list if you want to speak with me about the job or the situation here at the paper before you apply. I encourage anyone interested to apply, this has been an excellent job for me and I have really enjoyed it. I just need to move on because my wife if going back to grad school and there isn''t a school here that offers what she needs. Anyway, we now return you to your regularly scheduled railing ;) Cheers- -Ezra Zygmuntowicz Yakima Herald-Republic WebMaster http://yakimaherald.com 509-577-7732 ezra@yakima-herald.com
Congrats Ezra! A few questions if you''re interested: - What salary range do you think they''re willing to pay? What type of benefits? - How''d you get the job yourself? Judging from your resume, you had a art background and appear to be largely self-taught in technical things. I''m largely self-taught too and am curious how technical competence is effectively conveyed to prospective employers, barring, say, a compsci degree. - What''s your new job? ;) Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

His name is Matt Pferschy and his email is mpferschy@yakimaherald.com . I am self taught at programming but I have been using macintosh computers since 1987 ;) So they do recognize talent here. So if you can prove your talent with some code samples and perhaps a few deployed apps then I don''t think not having a CS degree will be a big turn off for them. I encourage interested parties to email Matt to talk with him about the details. And I will let on about my new job after I have started and settled in a bit. But I can say that it is in Spokane Washington so its only a 200 mile move for me.

Congrats Ezra ! Hope you''re still able to jump on board theargonexpress.com!
