SEEKING WORK - remote

Location: Michigan (EDT)

Growing a business is hard. Customer demands keep coming in. The feature list is getting longer by the day. Launch deadlines are looming. Your developers are starting to burn out.

What if you could mark items off that feature list?

What if deadlines didn't feel so intimidating?

What if your developers felt relief because they could focus on specific features?

Get ready to work with a developer that can take the anxiety out of your Rails development projects. I'm experienced in full-stack Rails development, but perhaps more importantly, experienced in working with a variety of different software teams and projects. Agile. Remote. Small teams. You name it. You can rest assured that I'm not a developer who goes "off the radar"...hiding and building out "clean code"" only to turn up in three days to find out that what they built isn't what was needed or has the wrong tasks prioritized.

Communication is key and I understand that, because I have learned the hard way and I have seen others fail at it too.

Growing a business means getting everyone to row the boat in the same direction, which we all know, is harder than it sounds. I'm here to help.

Right, I thought I heard him mention it, but couldn't remember where. Looks like he mentions it in this post >> http://robots.thoughtbot.com/the-vim-learning-curve-is-a-myt... And really, I wanted to learn so I could pair with other programmers remotely. I had heard that many were using tmux and Vim so I thought it was time.

Good tips! You just reminded me that I did both of those first two at first as well. Arrows especially. But those last two are good too! I'll have to add them into my workflow.

From the sounds of other developers, I think much of the development community is moving towards this paradigm. Developers have been so inundated with needing to use patterns, designs and other forms that has lead to inefficiencies in designs that were well thought out, but do not apply, instead of inefficiencies from bad code.

Well said. Ah...subway QR codes...

Sure, valid point. But why would a user want to go to a website in the first place? That seems like the bigger issue in most cases that QR codes don't solve that businesses neglect.

We include analytics in the campaigns we run. It all depends on the benefit to the user, we've seen good results and have done a case study on one campaign.

Good example. Forgot to consider that one as well. Thanks!

Agreed. Good points.
