I'm surprised hiring is tough. The job market is such trash rn and I feel there are a lot of Rubyists, or ex-Rubists interested in returning to it, around. Maybe not? (Edit: spelling)
Well ya, I'm just saying I'm surprised considering the current job market. I moved on from Rails about 5 years ago now, but have 9 years experience under my belt and still keep up a bit with new things and play with them once in a while. And yet I've applied for several Rails positions in the past few years and always get an outright rejection.
