mirRoR Blog: Rails City of the Week: New York
Posted about 10 hours ago - http://www.mirrorplacement.com - description

An article in The New York Times this week highlighted New York as a "hotbed of innovation," stressing, in particular, the recent growth and promise of NYC's tech sector. It seemed to be destiny, then, that we picked New York as this week's Rails City of the Week.

If you haven't already read the article, it's worth checking out as much of what's going on in the NYC tech sector as a whole is reflected in the NYC Ruby world as well. The article also provides some interesting insight into the differences between New York and Silicon Valley (and why more and more technologists are finding the Big Apple appealing).

But you're not here to read about general tech news. So on with the (Ruby) show! Here are a few quick notes about the New York Ruby on Rails job market from our experience over the last three years:

New York Rails gigs offer competitive compensation, second only to the San Francisco Bay Area. New York and San Francisco are the biggest Rails markets in the country, and so it makes sense that many of the best Rails shops and developers flock to these cities bringing with them the highest salaries in the industry.
New York Rails gigs are more often creative and media ventures. The types of Rails gigs found in NYC are a reflection of the big industries that call NYC home; publishing, fashion, and finance to name a few.
New York Rails startups are typically well-funded. With Wall Street just around the corner, it's not surprising that startups in New York are generally well-funded. Venture Capitalists in New York and around the country always have an eye out for promising investment opportunities in the city.

These are the main trends we've noticed in New York over the last three years. Even during the recession, New York has been relatively stable with (at least some) Rails openings available throughout all of 2009. Now that 2010 has hit, the NYC Rails scene is back in a serious way. We have more Rails openings in NYC now than we've had since 2008.

As you'd expect, NYC has active Ruby and Ruby on Rails meetups (with 400+ and 700+ active members, respectively). The even larger (12,000+ members) NY Tech Meetup gathers investors, entrepreneurs, and developers and fuels New York's ecosystem of tech ventures.

But what is living in NYC like beyond the Rails world? Well, you probably already know that New York tops many lists as the most expensive city in the country. But if you're able to take advantage of the competitive compensation Rails gigs in the city tend to offer, you may be able to stand that. New York's public transportation system is very accessible although New Yorkers also have the longest commute to work than any other city in the nation.

If you can make the logistics work, living in New York provides access to some of the best restaurants, inspiring artwork, and unparalleled cultural diversity. For these reasons and more, many people consider New York one of the most desirable places to live (at least for a period of time).

If you're still not sure if New York is for you, you can always check out the "Do You Belong in New York?" quiz. But really, if you're interested in New York Rails gigs, now is a good time to take a look. Whether you're in New York already or looking to relocate, our latest Rails gigs in NYC are worth checking out.

Telecommuting AWS EC2 system administrator for Ruby on Rails Web site for a nonprofit organization at: U.S., Telecommute
Posted about 24 hours ago - http://jobs.rubynow.com - description

We are looking for a part-time system administrator for 2-3 hours a week. We are moving from Slicehost to Amazon AWS / EC2.

We especially need someone who knows EC2’s auto-scaling and ELB load-balancing. Or who has existing auto scripts (or can quickly do them) to bring up and take down EC2 instances based on traffic needs.

We have about 90% of it figured out, and we need about 6 to 10 hours of help in the next week or two with the remaining 10%. Then we need about 2-3 hours per week on average of ongoing system admin after that.

Our first Web site is below, and most of the initial time would be on this -

http://dailysource.org/

The site’s mission is to bring high-quality news and information from around the Internet to the public in order to help them and the world. You can read more about it here -

http://dailysource.org/about/site
http://dailysource.org/about/benefits

We are also starting a new site whose focus is on helping the people in the world in the greatest need, especially the 2 billion extremely poor in Africa, Asia and Latin America who are trying to live on less than $2 a day:

http://leastof.org/about/intro
http://www.leastof.org/
http://leastof.org/about/samplepages

Check out the innovative World Wealth Calculator on the front page, that the top economist at the World Bank volunteered to help us create.

We developed DailySource using Ruby on Rails, MySQL, and a good amount of AJAX. We are getting ready to switch from MyISAM vs. InnoDB.

We are looking for someone who can do under $20 an hour, preferably under $15.

INFORMATION WE NEED

If you think you might be interested in these, please email the following to: systemadmin (at) dailysource (dot) org:

* Your resume (or the equivalent information such as work experience and skills, or curriculum vitae). In particular, let us know your skill level in EC2 overall, in ELB and in AWS’ auto-scaling; and the number of sites you've worked on using those.
* How much you would charge per hour to work on our project. We are a nonprofit and do not have a large budget.
* If you are also a Web developer who knows Ruby on Rails, let us know and we will consider having you do some development work as well.
* If English is not your native tongue, please let us know the levels of your written and verbal English.

We are forward thinking and passionate about making the world a better place — particularly for those most in need.

We look forward to hearing from you,

Rachel (telecommute) at: U.S., Telecommute
