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

# This file extends the Kernel's require function and adds the 
# AutoReload module which allows to reload files once they have changed
# on the disk.
#
# Basically, you just require your files as usual, and if you want to update
# the files, either call AutoReload.reload(file) or AutoReload.reload_all.
#
# Usage:
#   irb -rautoload
