Build Developers

Brief

You cannot do it on your own. Whether you're buildings products or a consultancy, you need developers. You can't afford to outbid everyone else and, even if you do, another company will up the ante in six months. You can't rely on your network or universities to deliver fully ready Rails devs. Professional recruiters are no answer.

Your only real option is to build them. That's the situation LivingSocial faced, and in this session, we'll share lessons learned from the design, recruitment, and beginning months of Hungry Academy. Let's discuss:

• Recruiting applicants
• Evaluating aptitude

Rails.application.assets.logger = Logger.new('/dev/null')

Rails::Rack::Logger.class_eval do
  def before_dispatch_with_quiet_assets(env)
    before_dispatch_without_quiet_assets(env) unless env['PATH_INFO'].index("/assets/") == 0
  end
  alias_method_chain :before_dispatch, :quiet_assets
end
