There's not really anything wrong with your specs, but the general wisdom is
that there's not a lot of point testing what's essentially part of rails
itself.
In the past, I've used rspec matchers to confirm that models have the correct
associations defined, eg: https://github.com/thoughtbot/sh

know when you might cross paths professionally with your ambush-ee in the
future.

Personally, I couldn't care less the format or the language people use,
providing they are genuine. It's not as though every other post on the list is
a spammy ad from a recruiter who is just harvesting CVs and doesn't know the
target market.
What I am sick of is seeing people jump on job post
Ease up there, I didn't see anyone "leveraging" any "synergies" there or
anything... I thought it was fairly buzzword free TBH :)

I just want to jump in here (again) and say this: I think the
fundamental mistake which some people have made is assuming that
because they don't know Simon IRL or from the list already, that he
*must* be a recruiter who needs to be educated in what the "Rails

It's not hard to reply off-list if you want more details, Clifford
Heath's reply pretty much nails all the valid reasons why an employer
may not go into details of the job.
There's nothing wrong with asking the question "who's out there and

for last week, and I have nothing else in the pipeline for May now :-/

It definitely sounds like you put a lot of thought into this Craig -
not suggesting otherwise mind you.
As for being Gen X, I'm sure many of us can recall watching our

Craig,
Can I ask, were people actually balking at paying your previous rates?
I ask because I'm certainly not seeing negative feedback about my
current rate (which is on par with your new rate) being an issue, but
it does seem very quiet compared to previous years in terms of
requests for quotes
If you don't want to be interpreting all the routes, them maybe you
could do something like this?
get '/css/:name.css' do
header 'Content-Type' => 'text/css; charset=utf-8'
css :name
end
(Obviously i'm not using HAML or SASS in this instance, but the
principle should be similar...)
On Wed,
