Has this been addressed directly with the employee? It hardly seems worth firing someone over.

Hmm. The left navigation stuff doesn't seem to update.

Agreed. I'd still like a response from my initial email.

Wow. This is astounding. I happened to meet him and Dave Thomas a year or so ago, and had lunch with them at a Ruby conference. Incredibly nice and funny guy, who was really smart.

I emailed out the last time this was posted, and haven't heard anything back other than "we'll reach out to you soon".

I think, in theory, this is really neat. One of the things I struggle with when learning something new (especially something more involved), is finding a way to put it into practice.
With that said, I think there could be a bit more description, or perhaps some examples of what I'd actually be signing up for, and how it works.
As a bit of trivium, on Chrome on OSX, auto-fill for the email doesn't work properly, and while small, it might help get a tiny bit higher conversion if that was addressed.

SEEKING WORK – Remote / Washington, DC Metropolitan Area
- I’m a full stack web developer who can take care of your web presence end-to-end, including hosting and system administration, as well as building out your designs.
What I can do for you:
- VPS Setup & Configuration, whether for a web server or otherwise.
- General SysAdmin work.
- PHP / MySQL back-end development (have been using Rails at my day job for 6 months or so, but I’m sure your money would be better used with another Rails developer).
- HTML5 Front-End, with excellent knowledge of best practices, and how to best deal with browser inconsistencies.
- Javascript: Been developing with jQuery since version 1.3, and greatly enjoy using Backbone.js as well. Of course, I can do the same tasks with “raw” Javascript, it’ll just take longer.
- Responsive Design: I’m excellent at converting existing templates into a responsive design to allow for mobile compatibility.
- CSS: Whether it be debugging some wonky IE6 issue, or creating a solid Compass pipeline for you, I’m here to help.
- CMS: I’ve developed several in-house content management systems, as well as doing a large amount of work in Wordpress and (ugh) Joomla.
My major projects: http://wireless.walmart.com, http://wirefly.com, http://www.rcn.com
