I've been working with Ruby for 15 years. I've never wished it had types. Plenty of other languages out there if you want types.

SEEKING FREELANCER – REMOTE – Ruby on Rails, JavaScript (Backbone.js), iOS (native)

GunpowderLabs is a web and mobile development agency. We’re based in Washington, DC, but we serve clients and hire developers everywhere.

We’re looking for several freelance developers to work on client projects with any of those core skills:

* Ruby on Rails * Front-end (JavaScript/Backbone.js) * Native iOS

About 20-40 hours per week per developer. If you’re interested to work for us full-time after a few months, that’s an option, but not a requirement.

If you’re great at any of those things, please drop me a line at anton@gunpowderlabs.com.

These laws make me doubt the future of the industry in Europe. I respect users' privacy and all - but this is atrocious for user experience.

I've been waiting for something like this, good job!

I think this is a great design graphically, and an interesting concept. I was asking myself the following questions though:

1. What happens when you click 'Hire an Exec', or 'Sign Up'?

2. Why are there two different calls to action - 'Hire an Exec' and 'Find an Exec near you'?

3. Design isn't just about pretty pixels. Where's the content, and why is there dummy content in its place?

4. Where did the 'In the News' section go from their original design? It must have been important enough to put it at the very top. What assumptions did you make that led you to remove it, or move it down to the footer?

5. In general, what assumptions did you make and how did they influence your design?

Curious to see what Instagram will do about this.

Check out contactually.com, it just connects to your gmail account and tracks who you contact.

Who cares, as long as the story is interesting, and well written? I actually learned something that I wanted to know for a long time, but never bothered to look up.

Trying to access the URL produces a 500 error.

Railscasts is one of the first resources I recommend people who want to learn Rails.

I wouldn't have been able to learn Rails as quickly as I did without Railscasts.

$9 is really a steal :)

This doesn't really explain 'how' you got burnout. What was the reason?

Some case studies of how people increased their traffic/conversions/growth would be awesome :)

I am taking a negotiation class right now and we are using the three books listed below. The professor is really great, and the books are not boring college textbooks - they're really engaging and I'd read them on my own if I wasn't taking the course, too.

"Yes!: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive" by Goldstein, Margin, & Cialdini is a great book on influence and persuasion.

Cialdini is a great resource for influence/negotiation in general, so look for other articles/books written by him.

"Predictably Irrational, Revised and Expanded Edition: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions" by Ariely is a great book on behavioral economics

"Negotiation" by Lewicki, Saunders, and Barry
