That's not a fair way of describing him, as he's actively becoming a supplier of new developers, not merely acting as a middleman.

#16I have some modest experience. None the less, I'm interested. How much do you hope to teach in eight weeks? What should a Junior Rails Developer be able to do?
Great questions.
A junior rails developer should have - A good grasp of Ruby - A good grasp of the rails framework - Experience pair programming - An understanding of the Agile Software Development, and Test Driven Development - Basic HTML, CSS, and Javascript skills - Basic git (source control)
More importantly, they need to know how to reach out to the ruby community, and have developed the skill of getting stuck and learning their way through the stuckness.

Sort of.
I'm a rails guy, who really enjoys being around people. And I'm asking companies to pay me to train devs, instead of find devs.

#18Sounds interesting. How much is tuition? What are the companies that will reimburse tuition?
Tuition will be 6k paid over 5 years ($100/month)
I haven't asked the companies' permission to publicize yet. Sending them emails now, and will get right back to you once I get their ok.
