contract Ruby development work?

Thanks

While the region, industry, and experience level are the primary factors in
rates, customers requesting Ruby (instead of, say, Perl), would tend to be
in the higher ranges.

How do you figure that?

Exposure to too many legacy Perl systems that should never have been.

The great thing about the Ruby Python du-opoly is you can use it as an
intelligence detector...

I'd assume he's arguing from scarcity -- i.e., supply and demand.

On the other hand, there is a little-to-no demand for Ruby developer in
(some? many?) places, so someone looking for Ruby work may be willing to
work cheap.

The prospective employer is offering a mix of some cash and
!(java|perl|php|vb) coding, which is an attractive mix.

Do you have a rough range, say X-Y $/hr? I may have an opportunity (!)
to price my Ruby skills soon.

Not really any different from any other sort of development work, in my
experience (and Ruby contract work has kept my family fed and clothed and
housed for 3 years, now).

It depends greatly on what the work is, who the client is (i.e. you might
charge less for work for you church than you would for work for a fortune
500 company), the length of contract and extenuating circumstances such as
"We want this 200 hour project done in 2 weeks" and the like, as well as
where you are at. Milwaukee, WI, is going to be different from Cheyenne,
WY, is going to be different from Moreila, Mexico is going to be different
from Montevideo, Uruguay. Mix all of that up, shake it a bit, and dump it
out on the table, and what you get is a broad range.

In the US, I'd say that anything under $20 has to have some special
circumstances that make one go that low. $35-$75 would be a more typical
range, and rates up to $150 would not surprise me, for special
circumstances.

A famous philosopher once said to "know thyself."

If you posted your resume here, I'm sure someone could rate you pretty
accurately. You're probably better off figuring it out on your own though.

Your ad hominem attack doesn't lend you any credibility. In fact, it
provides some insight into your psyche that leads me to wonder if you're
angry.

That series reflects some deep aspects of society through the
perspective of an innocent child who tries his very best to be a good
Christian, but keeps having to cope with not only The Bible's
contradictions, but also his parent's dysfunctional marriage that turns
into a nasty divorce highlighting many of the [mostly] unspoken or
ignored issues along the way that haunt society on an almost daily basis.

Children tend to be among the freest thinking people in the world, so I
suppose it makes sense that I should regard that as a compliment about
my youthful mental complexion -- thank you.

supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with
the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. But we
may hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United
States will do away with all this artificial scaffolding, and restore to
us the primitive and genuine doctrines of this the most venerated
reformer of human errors."
