If you’re looking for Rails programmers, you can post a listing at the 37signals Job Board. The price is $250 for 30 days of air time.
I would greatly appreciate it if this did not make it to the Ruby on Rails weblog. I fully aknowledge the support & funding 37signals has put into this framework, but quite honestly – posts like this sadden me.
Thanks for your feedback, Kyle. But at a post rate of once every few weeks, I’m sure you’ll be able to get over the sorrow quickly.
This post resumes one of the early intentions of having a dedicated Rails blog: To be able to promote Rails employment opportunities. But as those grew, it no longer became prudent to give every opportunity its own post.
Now there’s a reasonable, easy way for me to collect and present a big number of job opportunities in a succinct form.
Helping the 37signals Job Board in the process of doing that is extra sugar on top. Considering the untold hours of open source development the company has donated to the Rails project.
How about instead of using this site for more promotion of 37signals you try using it for less? I feel this would be a better strategy for us all.
Less promotion, less spam.
FWIW, I was not sadden by this post. As only an observer of Rails, I found it informative and interesting. I look forward to more, provided they don’t swamp the other content.
Isn’t the jobs board on 37signals for job postings?
Thanks for posting this – I’m always glad to see postings of Rails-specific jobs.
I can’t believe you guys are complaining about this!
1) They are “rails” jobs. This makes them relevant to this blog.
2) If people aren’t actively seeking employment they are unlikely to go and look at the 37 signals job board. They may however be interested in casting an eye over a summary like this one – even if its jsut to assess demand.
3) It is one post every few weeks. I am sure there are other posts to this blog that each of you don’t find interesting, just skip over I if you don’t care.
4) If this benefits 37 signals in any way, why the hell shouldn’t it. They have saved you a fortune (or earned you a fortune) based on the man hours they have sponsored.
It saddens me to see ungrateful individuals grumble about this!
I’m with Alex on this one…
Considering the amount of time, sweat, and money 37Signals has put in to starting, and spearheading this excellent project, we can over look a post like this if we don’t care for it… not to mention the post could potentially find you employment, or remind you of a place to look for employees.
Since it doesn’t cost you anything but 10 seconds ( if that ) to ignore the post and move on, and since they sponsor and support this blog… It’s my opinion that they can do as they see fit.
If there is so much concern for Rails jobs, why can’t we include a summary from http://jobs.rubynow.com ?
I know many people will disagree with my standpoint, but I just feel like it’s polluting the clean waters and spirit of open source with cash-mongering.
We’ve all gotta eat, Kyle.
Polluting the clean waters and spirit of open source with cash-mongering? Give me a break!
Like it’s been pointed out, 37s have invested untold hours into Rails, and I think this post is perfectly reasonable.
Don’t forget this is syndicated as well, so it showed up as a huge block of HTML entities and other unescaped niceties on http://planetruby.0×42.net
It saddens me to see the word sadden used so much!
Though I agree with the spirit of the rail job postings, I must say that the jobs.rubynow.com site should have got some air time as well. But then again, it competes with the 37sigils job-network. And sometimes the “rubyonrails” weblog is more conspicuous by the things it DOESN’T mention.
And what is with you fanboys just jumping on everyone who dares to crit your teenage hero? You’re really not helping anything by being rude and obnoxious.
You don’t want to see dissent, just shutdown the comments, and close the forum doors.
Do not forget that a number of people outside of 37 Signals have also spent untold hours working on the Rails code. Three of the Signals spent many of those hours on Rails well before they became Signals. Rails is very much growing out of the community it has built around it, and the brave early adopters, most of whom do not work for 37S. Yes, 37S has been very generous in even releasing the product, and their ideals, but it does not stop there.
I don’t have a problem with these jobs posts…
WAIT, I don’t get this.
We ALREADY have the Job Board posting on every page of the Weblog. It currently has been displaying job listings on the top left of every weblog page, which I have no problem with.
BUT now we have to get a dump of job posting into a weblog post.
WHAT! It’s now a double-wammie of the same crap.
And for those of you commenting that these are RUBY or Ruby on Rails job postings – THEY ARE NOT. If you bother to look at the jobs listed in this post, most are simply Web Developer job postings asking for basic HTML/CSS/Javascript knowledge and don’t even state anywhere in the Job Post Listing that they need or even desire Ruby or Ruby on Rails for that matter, skills.
Ted… I clicked on over half the listings above, and they almost all at least mention Rails, and most are looking for a Rails developer…
So I have no idea what you’re talking about. Furthermore, it takes you more time to react to the post, then to ignore it if it doesn’t apply to you. sheesh. you’d think they just asked you to pay to read the site or something.
Yeah, apparently there’s a lot of things you don’t get, Ted…
DHH, thanks for posting this. It is definately nice to see how Rails is growing by how many companies are looking for Rails developers.
Comments are a cool place to fight for a dumm cause!
Polluting the clean waters and spirit of open source with cash-mongering?
Actually, cash-mongering and open source has alot to do with eachother. Most, if not all good FLOSS projects have some paid developers.
I think it’s extremely interesting to see how many more jobs there are asking for rails. Even more interesting if I was looking for a job. So this post certainly ticks my ‘relevancy’ box.
Some people seem to expect that there should be no money associated with any aspect of rails – and moan very loudly if there ever is. To those people : Get Real!
I like reading this blog because it’s informative of all things related to Rails like those jobs.
I don’t mind read a post from 37signal jobs page, because I know it’s a related web that has contributed very much to this community.
So complaining people, don’t be selfish, and let this blog to be alive…
I am getting fed up with all these whiners. Always complaining. Nag, nag ,nag. If it isn’t rails updates or security, its about a job posting.
Get a life, or skip the post
The job listing post is kind of awkward. I don’t think 37s really needs this extra sugar on top. Those untold hours you spend on Rails are already serving you very well, why bother?
BTW, I love rails and I am greatful to 37s for releasing it as open-source.
Lots of fanboys in here. suckers.
Could searching or at least sorting by location make it onto the wish list for job board features? It’s just at the point of getting unmanageable. Thanks.
People who use the term fanboy are suckers.
I think dumping a list jobs into a RoR weblog post is a bad idea.
People who are interested in RoR jobs should have no trouble finding RoR job listings. Depending on the whether the reader is seeking a RoR job, these posts are either redundant or not of interest.
Very disappointing. Please don’t degrade the SNR with off-topic advertisements like this.
The people reading the weblog are probably smart enough to find the job board from the listing in the sidebar. The ones who don’t click it don’t want to. Rubbing their face in it won’t change that, but it will irrtate others and make them think just a tiny bit less of 37signals and DHH.
On the one hand I think DHH has the right to pimp the job board on the blog every now and again. On the other hand is it worth the controversy?
Oh, of course it is! Controversy is how you get noticed!
David – I’m with the others on here who say i have absolutely NO PROBLEM seeing this sort of stuff on the blog – it takes me about 1 second to wheel past it if i’m not interested.
I’ve run a few communities and been involved with a fair few open source projects – at the end of the day most of us are capitalists and will be looking to gain from our rails knowledge, who can blame the guys at 37 for being the same?
Eliot, that’s a good idea. In the next update, I’ll sort by location.
What a bunch of cry babies. This blog is sponsored by 37signals. If you want to control every little detail of every blog post, go create your own ‘official’ rails blog. Jebus…
I think the annoying thing for most people is simply that if you look at the top left hand corner, you see non-rails-specific jobs. That’s all.
It’d be nice if we could have a rails-only feed from the job board for this. That’d be awesome.
