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!
