Hi everyone,

Hope this is not too OT, but I know I will get a good answer here...

I will be soon* helping one of my clients write a job spec for an agile software developer, to work on a Ruby web app using RSpec. I'd just like to know something from experienced BDDers - what in a job spec would attract your attention? There's obviously nothing I can do about pay, working conditions etc (although both are pretty good, I have to say - I'd certainly like the job if I didn't want to work for myself), so it's more the technical appeal of the job.

I'm guessing most people would be put off by, for example:
Programmer wanted to write web site. Must have 3 years' experience in Rails, SQL Server and CVS. We are agile so you must deliver 3 pages of the project spec every iteration. We do pair programming, but if you need a machine of your own, we have some spare Windows 95 boxes in the cupboard.

But what things make a job appealing? What technologies, skills, practices and methodologies make for a good BDD role?

Thanks
Ashley


* Tomorrow actually, I guess I had the inspiration to ask on this list a bit late
