Re: [ruby.mn] Hiring - Lead RoR Dev for Funded Startup

Ben Damman — 2012-05-25T00:39:19

I've gotten to know Will England recently and believe he's a solid guy to
work for, so those of you thinking about applying: go for it!

While he does need a strong lead developer to take charge, he is also open
to working with junior developers depending on skills and long-term
personal fit. They have Android and iOS apps—in addition to their Rails
app— so there is a real opportunity for someone looking to get their feet
wet in the mobile space.

I agree with Michael…great opportunity for anyone that wants to work for a
funded startup, be an early member of their new in-house development team,
and actually have equity that becomes worth a significant amount in a few
years.

[ruby.mn] Hiring - Lead RoR Dev for Funded Startup

Andcor — 2012-05-24T19:10:41

Hi. I'm recruiting for Drive Power (www.drvpwr.com). They just closed
on $815K in angel financing, have revenue and have a couple of huge
customers. Lots of great things going right now and they need a lead
Rails Dev to really lead the charge on their web development efforts.
Individuals should be top notch in skill level (we will ask for a code
sample), easy to get along with and can easily communicate.

Compensation is market + equity.

Not too many funded startups in Mpls these days. Great opportunity...

Sound like a fit?  Drop me a line at mtnoble37-/E1597aS9LQAvxtiuMwx3w< at >public.gmane.org with your
resume and links to any sample work.

Thanks,
Michael

I wanted to. But it was scheduled after I scheduled a trip to Montreal. 
I don't get home until Monday night so can't go. I was thinking about 
going over to JRuby conf instead, since it's like 3 miles from my house.

I thought about going to ChefConf - I use it enough.  FYI, Maker Faire is also next weekend in the bay area.

The only thing keeping me from going is my current project.  Alas.

Your welcome, don't forget to also update the Ckeditor::Picture in a

I believe this assumes that you have the aws-s3 gem installed

Hi,

A few weeks ago I asked about rich-text editors.  ckeditor was recommended by a couple of you guys.  This seems like a nice one.  Has anyone configured it to work with AWS?  Currently it sticks the images in public/ckeditor_assets/pictures, and Heroku will balk at that.

Thanks,

Re: [ruby.mn] bj - background jobs

Wade Stebbings — 2012-05-10T18:36:00

We used to use BJ for http://nhgis.org, but dumped it in preference to 
delayed_job. It seemed BJ was no longer being actively developed, and it 
showed. delayed_job has a rails-2 fork as well, which helps if you're 
still stuck with older rails apps. I'm pretty happy with delayed_job for 
the most part. I've extended its Delayed::Job class in one of our models 
to better integrate its visibility with our extract system (essentially 
job requests, so it is nice to have these two things related).

BJ (aka background_job) was a background queue a lot of people used back
then: http://codeforpeople.rubyforge.org/svn/bj/trunk/README

It requires a separate process to do the work, like delayed_job. It's
actually quite similar to delayed_job.

Steve Fox — 2012-05-10T16:48:21

Hi,

I have inherited a rails 2.0.2 app which I'm eventually going to rebuild as rails 3.2.x or whatever.  The server it's running on is pretty old, too, and features a deprecated kernel.  So, I transferred the app to a new vps while I set up a new app using rvm and all that.

Everything is working as expected except for order processing.  Orders are created, but emailing is failing.  This piece is supposedly handled by bj, and it should 'just work.'  No daemon running.  Has anyone used bj recently?  Here's the code in app/model/order.rb - lines 13 and 14 make the calls to Bj.

And there is nothing exceptional in the logs, which I've set to debug.  You can see the item added to the bj_job table:
