True, but try explaining to a client that your rate is higher than Jimmy
the Java Contractor because you are smart and use Ruby. So your better off

P.S. I'm not yet a Ruby contractor or consultant (but am seriously
considering it), so I may be completely off-base here. But it makes sense
logically. I'm sure some of the real Ruby contractors out there can shed
some more light on this.
