I think that might just be a really, really bad recruiter. Of the couple dozen or so developers I've been involved in interviewing I've never met a single one who was that clearly incompetent. And that includes a lot of junior candidates.
I definitely do not believe anyone is hiring devs that bad at $100/hr. That makes me deeply suspicious of the recruiter. Hiring for Ruby jobs can be difficult but it's not _that_ difficult.
- bdcravens 13y agoI was at a Ruby meetup tonight. Out of maybe 20 people there, 6-8 said their company was hiring. I'm in Houston, which isn't exactly a hotbed for the Rails world. Given enough demand and enough developers who talk a good game, that's not that surprising. Also this info was coming from a recruiter. It's entirely possible that's what the staffing firm was billing, in which case the developer wasn't making that much bank.
