Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is production ruby/rails experience really a hard requirement for your backend positions? Do you see on-the-job learning as ineffective? I've been looking over GitLab's jobs for at least a year, but nothing for the Python programmer in sight...

Not a Gitlabber, but more info on that: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/merge_requests/...

Thanks for posting that. Ruby or Go experience is required for backend positions.
