If your product is good, you don't need to have a free plan. If you're the sort of business that needs a job board, $149/mo is peanuts for the value you get. http://www.softwarebyrob.com/2010/08/18/why-free-plans-dont-...

Comment above is replying to a GP who said > I'm not associated with them in any way but as a boot strapper I love free high quality tools and they have one that's been superb for us. What kind of reply is this?

Are there people out there who only want to work in one language or be hired explicitly for one language? On the other side are there employers who only want people well versed in X language? I guess what I'm getting at is: most great developers I've met choose and use whatever language is the best fit for the job, even if it isn't their favorite. Targeting a specific language appears to be more of a niche, to me, an…

It's a failure of the web browsers to work with a site that would let you be so insecure that it "should be taken down immediately".

The problem is unless you have some offband connections or doing your own startup it's very difficult to switch languages as a professional. For example, if I wanted to switch to Rails development I'd have no chance getting a job which asks for 5 years experience with Rails - I'd have to take a junior/intern position which would be a huge salary hit. So regardless whether I could learn Rails in a reasonable time or n…

You can keep telling yourself that, but actually most places asking for only five years' Ruby experience would kill for somebody with the same experience in a similar language. Rails really isn't that hard to learn, especially if you're taking a job that involves maintaining/enhancing an existing project. You would be hired as a senior. Well, unless you actually can't grok Ruby after knowing Python, which would be a…
