Interviews

It's really hard to say the degree to which it helped me, but at my previous work participation in open-source projects and the community as a whole was considered during promotion.

In the past, I created a gem (or code snippet) that changes numbers in the logs to some random numbers :)
This is a special RoR gem for April 1 (Fools day). It was funny to watch how people trying to understand what is happening.

I'm Marc, a web developer and CTO based in Barcelona. I like to build digital things and libraries. I started in the open-source world when I knew Rails. My first experience was to extract some Ruby code into a "gem" in order to re-use it in 2 different Rails apps I was working at that time. Now I'm maintaining more than 10 open-source projects (some of them with some success!).
