Job Advertisements
January 10th, 2008 by RadarI replied to a job advertisement on the rubyonrails-talk mailing list, explaining that all job advertisements look the same:
I would only dream that somebody will produce a job advertisement that does not copy the same style as all the others. Someone needs to break free of the mould. If I hear or read another buzzword in a job advertisement I’ll go postal.
In other news, there was a post on Rails Forum by pullmonkey who gave a rather helpful roundup method. His method lets you round up to the nearest 1o. I altered his code some and added in a new method called rounddown which will round it down to the nearest multiple of whatever argument you pass in.

Instead of writing meaninglessly long emails, you should probably spend some more time solving your own problems - http://frozenplague.net/2008/01/11/testing-there-has-to-be-a-better-way

That is not my problem any more. I know what’s causing it, but it’s such an integral part of the system that it would take a day or two to remove.
