In terms of finding in-house people for a job in New York, you have some competition. I can't speak for everyone, but I don't look at Craigslist and I'm not sure many developers do. Most of the developers I've seen hang out here, ruby-forums, and stack overflow. Stack overflow has a careers board that lists 435 Ruby on Rails jobs. Brandon, some of these are remote positions as well. You should also probably hit Twitter with the tag #rubyonrails. mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
