    Can you tell us more about pair programming, never done it myself, the thing that scares me about it is pairing with some types of developers. About half the developers i work with, i enjoy working with, the other half i would not enjoy pairing or working closely with.

    So how does that work out in reality?

    No I probably don’t, and neither have the developers I’ve seen trying to do it either years ago by the sounds of it Current client contracts me to build parts of their system, and I do that then deliver it, so no chance of anything like that happening.

    Doesn't seem worth of a contract of the day to me

    This one trumps it. 163 to 197 per day INSIDE for a Project Manager. Granted for NHS but still...

    That's got to be for one of those biosecurity WEF totalitarian control digital vaccine passport type projects?

    It might be a good starting contract for a young permie, say on 50K a year, with 3 years experience, who wants to jump straight into contracting.

    However i got no idea if contracting in Ruby on Rails has any good future or not.
    3 years experience! Then they'd be a match for a senior or technical lead role!

    You write something, then you train the customer on how to use it. How would that be a problem?

    Having someone monitoring you and making suggestions as you work, could be seen as an unacceptable level of D & C? The training would depend if it was giving or receiving (fine if the former and in your schedule).

    Too many out there looking for perfect when enthusiastic & good enough is what you need.

    You don't need someone with 10 years of experience of SQL server 2022, someone who has been around a bit and has proven experience is good enough, the documentation and support is good.

    You talk to agents and they are pulling their hair out , well last year they were.
