It all depends on where you live. When I lived in the Southeast US in a non-tech-center people were offering one third of that 96/yr number for an intermediate rails developer (this was considered by the community to be a low offer http:/

This may not have been clear from the post, but I did not actually write toilet. I just think it's neat and wanted to write a post show what it does and help people get people started using it.

I am a snob about several things and not ashamed of it. When I say I'm a snob about e.g. coffee, I just mean I'm picky about what I choose for myself and have high standards, NOT that I'm rude- if I'm at your house and you serve Nescafe
