Thanks so much, Aus! I am coding it today, all Sunday. It's so encouraging if you can make a full feature in just 1-2 days (Working on an Email Sequence editor right now).
I've learnt it. And started to connect online with people but when i read larger codebases I feel like its a much different step. Do you get to be there in complexity when you get a job or when you build projects
Larger codebases are always hard to grasp. I can only recomend using time as a tool. The longer you read different parts of the system, the more you understand it. And then (super important) every time you are stuck understanding some code: ask the author, and try to see their _reasoning_ behind a decision.
@@tillcarlos thanks a lot. I'll definitely try my best to be more engaging amd ask a lot of questions. Writing code has really clicked for me with this language and I want to stay.
Hey Carlos, I am kind of a unicorn in my college by selecting Ruby on rails as my technology option. I got couple of job offers in different areas like Java development etc.. How can I get an actual job as a Rails developer. I am from India
Regardless of the framework / language you need 2 things: - a network - a solid demonstation of work. Most people I meet - and many come from India - have neither. I'd start with the latter. Make some good software. A side project that you can be proud of. Make this your profile (just an /about section about yourself). After that you probably have used many open source gems. Pick one and improve on it.
I had to leave the field due to this, I got back to my previous job as a civil engineer, but still do rails everyday. It was very disappointing I mean its three times harder since I am from Iraq and its not used at all. Plus i don't like socializing on social media
Yeah, then it's harder. But I think you can mitigate by just writing blog posts about stuff you find useful. Building a network does not mean social media. Just a few trusted contacts can do a lot.
Great video. I love the ruby language and I just started using rails a couple weeks ago. Hopefully the market turns around soon.

Thank you for the emphasis on jr developer jobs.
Thanks so much! Yeah, it's super important. Some of our best hires were juniors.
