nemrowon Ask HN: What does a job-seeking start-up developer use for a "resume" today?

Along with your resume, I think the most important piece is going to be your cover letter. That is where you can explain your "developer story". You can explain why your resume isn't traditional "business", and portray yourself as an entrepreneurial developer. I am kind of in the same boat right now as well. Best of luck!

nemrowon Is Ruby on Rails still relevant?

I attended the Launch conference in San Francisco this year and specifically asked many of the startups demoing their software what they wrote in. The majority of them were written in RoR. Also, if you are just starting out with programming in general, once you get the hang of Ruby (which is the backbone of RoR) rails will be the fastest way for you to get applications up and running on the web. I would go ahead and say "Yes" to choosing RoR. Best of luck!
