Sorry to hear about your bad luck. :( "ruby internship offer @ 70+ hours a week unpaid" Wow. Just wow. Why would anyone choose to program Ruby for 70+ hours a week unpaid when they could launch their own Ruby web app instead? Either way you get business experience but if you launch your own web app at least you have a chance at revenue.
