Hi,

I’m a Brazilian (GMT -3) based Developer, with 3+ years Rails  
experience,  
working together with a Designer and looking for a remote work that lead  
us  
to new challenges, where we should use our skills to create tools that  
are  
useful for our customers.

We love agile, we love quality, so we want to work at an environment  
where  
we can be paranoid about tests coverage, about UX and about how clear  
our  
code and our architecture’s ideas looks like.

We are looking for new projects, as freelancers or permanent workers.  
If you are interested and want more details, please send me private  
email or  
contact me through some IM.

Regards.

I’m very frustrated to break out the forums rules. There was not my  
intention.  
Really sorry about this. I just send the email cause i ever see emails  
about  
job positions in the list.

I’m a user of this forum from years now and really like it too much.

We should have read forum instructions before send the email (i was not  
sending from the forums page, but this is not apologies anyways).

Really, sorry!

Really Bill??? Wow, in my opinion it’s hard to imagine a worse  
activity to promote. I’m sure there are hundreds if not thousands of  
people who would like to advertise themselves here.

I thought the general consensus was that it was OK to post very spot-  
on-topic jobs but not your own services?

UGH… NO! my $0.02

Don’t let it bother you. I think the general consensus has been that  
the above is not a prohibition against fellow Rails developers letting  
folks know they’re available and looking. I remember Greg Brown, for  
example, letting folks know he was available and was soliciting funding  
for his next project. I hope you get some replies.

Best regards,  
Bill

I’m a freelancer and would love to advertise on this list when I have  
availability, but I have always understood that it would be poor form  
to do so. I think it is entirely unfair to those of us who follow ML  
guidelines for someone to turn around and tell the OP not to worry  
about the rules.

Seems like a reasonable solution would be to put this information in  
your signature. I’d much rather hear that someone is looking for work  
than to see that dreaded “this entire email is confidential” crap.

That way you’re also forced to at least answer a question and your  
advertising is more subtle… kept to a single line or two I wouldn’t  
have any issues with that. It certainly isn’t any more obtrusive than  
funny quotes or a list of phone numbers, etc…

Something like the below maybe…
