Hi everyone -- I'd like to pass these two job listings from Second Story (where I work) on to the list. They're not specifically Ruby positions, but we like flexible programmers who keep up to date and Ruby knowledge is a symptom of that. :-)
If you know anyone else who might be interested, please pass it on to them. Thanks!
