This is sort of Rails-related 🙂

I recently applied for a job at Engine Y. after meeting the staff at  
RailsConf 2009. EY as you probably know is one of the premiere hosting  
companies for Rails. The told me to “send them something that would  
get me hired”.

After slaving over my resume and putting extra effort into my cover  
letter ([http://tr.im/npLV](http://tr.im/npLV)) I finished yesterday a series of 1 minute  
videos with many of the top brass in the Rails community, including  
DHH, Obie, Ryan B., the RailsEnvy guys and others. After all these  
years we still have the friendliest, most giving group of people in  
the world of software development. Thanks so much guys!

Anyway, the recruiter at Engine Y. loved it! So now I’m sharing the  
videos with you all. Hope you’ll enjoy them as much as I liked making  
them.
