Just to keep the expectations in the right level. When I said "I have more than 10 years of experience with Ruby" sounds like coding in Ruby code have been my main activity during 10 years, which is not true. It was back then, 10 years ago. But then I gradually started to spend more time in other tasks. During the last four years, I have only devoted 20% (or less) of my time to real coding. So most likely, your knowledge is way more up to date than mine. > [...] > -- Ancor González Sosa openSUSE Team at SUSE Linux GmbH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
