A new job as a Ruby programmer

I’ve landed a new job as a Ruby programmer, and have put in my two weeks working with my current employer. I am extremely excited by the idea of doing that which I love. I’ve managed to land this job without a degree, because I’ve been independently programming for years, and my technical interview proved this.

My advice to people who are looking to get a job as a programmer: Start a serious project. Don’t just make a toy application that is trivial, but build an application that you actually want to use.
