There are a bunch of jobs in Vancouver, BC, Canada, there is also bunch in New York.

The jobs are there. It is true that Front End is moving to JavaScript frameworks and this is something worth learning. Our knowledge will always become obsolete.

To help you practically here are some recruiters looking for Rails/Ruby Developers:

craig.ferguson@rht.com skhanna@edgrp.com

And a couple jobs:

To note also that I feel that people are moving away from Remote, maybe its time to gear up those people friendly skills?

I need the views of:

developers, those thinking about creating their own startup, those who are in it creating their first production, those who have supported technologists on their journey, those who have done it several times. I don’t care if you have succeeded or failed share it! I need all your questions and experiences

I agree, I like to RPG or play board games and sometimes it gets tiring organizing. It makes sense that certain types of people will end up following the actual planner. I think it really works if you always do that think, else its like buses if it does not regularly deliver people will avoid as it is unpredictable

It's easiest when you've got a core group of people who are willing to commit to a schedule.

I disagree. I went travelling around the world on my own. In fact I was never alone because I was open to meeting new people and met a lot of people. Friends travelling in pairs tend not to make new friends so easily, until they get sick of each other. I made some amazing friends this way. I know lot of female friends think differently due to safety, and this is fair.

This is great news. Of course the details will matter e.g. how will the investors choose the startups (and thus the founders). It has being a journey to get here though looking at http://startupvisa.ca/blog
