“InfoQ”:http://www.infoq.com has an interesting article on “whether specific technology knowledge matter when recruiting”:http://www.infoq.com/news/2007/08/buzzword-driven-recruiting. The short answer: No — although most companies don’t realize this.
Make sure you check out “the Flickr photo of a Ruby job ad”:http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=516427456&size=l, it got quite a few laughs at RailsConf.
