Working With Rails
I’ve been aware of Working With Rails for a while, and have even connected with a few developers who have done work for Bitscribe through it. Cool concept, definitely. Just recently I noticed that someone had recommended me (one of the contributors to Gyre - thanks, Michael!) so I decided to make a real profile. Interesting to note that, with one recommendation, my popularity is 89%. Guess there are a lot of empty records up there.
The profile form asks how long you’ve been working with Ruby, and Rails. For the former I looked at the datestamp of my first fooling-around Ruby script. For the latter I hit the svn log of my first Rails project. I was surprised to see that I’ve been doing Rails for exactly a year this month, with my Ruby tinkerings predating that by about six months. Woah, really? Ruby and Rails feel so comfortable now that it seems like years since I’ve used anything else. It’s gratifying that time seems to stretch out during periods of rapid change - I guess time doesn’t always fly when you’re having fun.
