Also, these questions were sent to us in as kind of a prescreen for
them.

Are you familiar with meta programming in Ruby



Are you familiar with writing plugins in Ruby



Have you ever Modified/Patched rails source



Are you familiar with DRB (Distributed Ruby, not ERB)



Are you familiar with the concept of domain specific languages



Are you familiar with Action Web Service



They should be very comfortable speaking about at least 1 half of those
topics in some depth, and in the off chance that any candidate is
fluent in Japanese that would easily be a +25% modifier for our
decision to go with them J
