Originally published in June 2008

When hiring Ruby on Rails programmers, knowing the right questions to ask during an interview was a real challenge for me at first. In 30 minutes or less, it's difficult to get a solid read on a candidate's skill set without looking at code they've previously written. And in the corporate/enterprise world, I often don't have access to their previous work.

To ensure we hired competent ruby developers at my last job, I created a list of 15 ruby questions -- a ruby measuring stick if you will -- to select the cream of the crop that walked through our doors.

What to expect

Candidates will typically give you a range of responses based on their experience and personality. So it's up to you to decide the correctness of their answer.

Contrived example demonstrating microgem dependencies

contrived is a microgem that depends on another microgem array_range, however gemspecs don't support DVCS dependencies. So how do we solve this without prematurely denting the universe?

Just use bundler.

Usage

Add all microgems to your project's Gemfile:

to show simple steps I took to try and reproduce the described issue based upon the
information available. This is very simple benchmarking with an almost vanilla Rails 4
application using sqlite as the database so is not useful other than to demonstrate the
out of the box performance with TorqueBox and Trinidad under these situations is very
close.
