Hi Ashley,
I think the problem you are identifying is not a problem with the Ruby
community. Rather it is a problem with small - medium sized companies that
leverage IT. That happens to be the space in which Ruby (on Rails) is getting a
lot of traction at the moment.

Thomas' suggestion is where I would be looking. Not sure how the ancestry gem
works, but I've done something similar before where we had a separate table
that tracked the changes made to a model. That way if we ever wanted to see
what state the model was in at a particular point in time w
I think I mis-read Ashley's original email: he's referring to juniors with
ability, but not Ruby experience, and I'm thinking of juniors who have
learned Ruby and done interesting things with it in their spare time.
I also think that JavaScript-related stuff (both server and client side)

I definitely agree with Steven. I was lucky enough to discover Ruby + Rails via
a friend and ended up doing freelance and contract work while I was at Uni, but
many other students aren't in the same boat. Either they never find out about
the community (does Ruby AU do outreach to universities?)
Joke's aside, I do agree with avoiding gender targeted language to refer to

version of pronouns to be gender non-specific (see:

The capitalisation suggests Brent may have been targeting people named Guy.

Do computers turn us into pedants or do our predilections simply make them
less annoying?

My anecdotal experience (as a volunteer coach/organiser in OpenTechSchool)
is that the talent base for junior programmers is incredibly broad but it
is there. There are people with programming knowledge but not domain
knowledge (e.g. Python but not web), or domain knowledge without the

Hi Paul,
Alternatively, if your data are very sensible you can avoid updating them
and add a new record each time and keep track of each state of your
objects. With the ancestry gem, it wouldn't probably be too hard to do it
