Interesting, but you'd think that if someone is serious enough to have a job opening with Ruby as part of the title, someone on this list would know them, especially considering they're asking for a "Senior" Ruby developer. Anybody know who this is? I'd be interested to know if they have other Rubyists working there -- I'd expect they would, wouldn't they? Ben
