Without real-world experience with Rails, companies and entrepreneurs are having an exceedingly difficult time vetting &#8220;single shingle&#8221; coders. Even though they are writing this software in a &#8220;highly desirable&#8221; framework, they’re commanding between $100 - $175/hour to write throw-away software due to their lack of sophistication and, ultimately, accountability.
