I've met and knew Paul for a time while I was in high school. Despite my interest then with CS, at that time, I had no idea until now that he was the inventor of Haskell or was involved in Computer Science at all.
Independent to his contributions to the industry that I now love; I knew him as an extremely friendly and energetic person. He was well liked by all who came in contact with him and his absence will be wide felt.
We're a creative agency with a lot of neat projects going on all the time. We're looking for a full-time and in-office developer with a good amount of Ruby/Rails experience. We've been bootstrapped and growing for almost 8 years now. Agency experience isn't a requirement, but a plus.
You're correct, the audience is really just a matter of semantics. The reason we wrote this post, knowing that this is very basic stuff, is that we found that a lot of the tutorials we'd come across didn't cover the introductory process end-to-end.
You're just as surprised as we are to see it on the frontpage!
This may not be the most glamorous option, but my company is looking for a contract QA person. Someone we can hire on a project by project basis and QA our apps. The work might work for the 'nights' half of your schedule and offer a good amount of flexibility. Feel free to email me.
