A lot of Rails devs have more likely moved on to “full stack” and now they have to write JavaScript for a living. I don’t envy them. React, and all that kind of thing. The front end ecosystem is a mess. Lots of work in that space though.
Go seems to be getting some traction commercially too.Leave a comment:

There's the problem. If you're too cheap to pay for an advert, I don't even want to think about what your rate might be like.
They often have a massive chip on their shoulder about agents.

How much is it to put something on Jobserve, or a free site that'll be gobbled up by one of the aggregators?
Pay nothing and you'll get a quantity of rubbish, thoughLeave a comment:

Freelancers.net?
Hi,
You could check out Freelancers.net. Not sure what the quality is like but used to be very good. Can search for a skill then go through and look at locations. Better than Upwork / People Per Hour, but will still get some offshore people on there too.Leave a comment:
