Rails - Apr 2006 - Ruby On Rails Salary in the UK? how much?

Hi,

What do you think is a reasonable salary for a ROR programmer in
Manchester, UK?
If you''re working with ROR and in the UK i''d be interested in
knowing
your salary :-)

Your opinions would be very valuable to me

As someone working in the area, I would have to say, ooooh, roughly a
meellion pounds a year :)

My opinion on the wages of software developmers is not entirely aligned 
with a lot of employers, including my present one ;)  I probably read a 
bit too much Joel on Software:

Whatever you''d expect for the level of the position and your own
capibilities, regardless of language/framework, that''s a fair salary.

I wouldn''t argue that because ROR skills are "rarer" that
they''re worth
more, simply because the number of people who wish to employ ROR developers
is similarly rarer.
