Rails programmer here -- I've been working with Rails since 2008 and I've been doing remote jobs for a living since then.

Lately I can't find any work at all with Rails, what's going on? What happened? Where did all the Rails jobs went?

I remember during 2008 doing multiples jobs at the same time, I used to get lots of offers, lots of interviews and gigs, etc, things have been really nice. Nowdays I barely get any interviews, and if I'm lucky to talk to someone, they ask for Node.js/Ember experience as well, etc.

Did all the jobs went to Node.js and other languages? Or I'm just doing something wrong?

It's really depressing accumulating all the knowledge and skills I got since then and not being able to use it or find more work. Even more depressing that I can't find work and my income depends on this.

Any suggestions or recommendations welcome. I'm only looking for remote work.

Sigh, please help. :-(","time":1416633230,"title":"Ask HN: Where are all the Rails jobs?","type":"story"}],[7970366,{"by":"whoishiring","descendants":492,"id":7970366,"kids":[7970371,7970403,7971206,7971920,7970368,7971915,7970650,7970374,7970373,7972113,7972215,7970386,7971744,7972586,7970952,7972911,7973524,7970898,7972350,7970370,7970409,7972428,7972456,7971882,7972477,7970417,7970477,7972453,7970585,7971836,7970527,7972651,7970707,7970547,7972750,7972004,7972150,7971569,7972675,7970891,7972261,7971254,7970498,7972326,7971727,7970899,7970776,7971845,7971485,7973065,7970411,7970407,7970731,7972535,7972994,7971529,7971395,7971258,7970765,7970438,7972178,7970654,7970745,7972318,7970782,7970468,7972227,7972349,7973518,7972211,7973505,7972667,7971454,7972034,7971825,7973469,7972733,7970583,7973115,7973008,7970673,7972794,7971501,7970664,7970721,7972593,7970637,7972260,7971084,7971778,7970687,7970686,7972600,7973567,7971895,7973252,7972488,7972517,7970770,7972890,7973742,7970618,7971885,7971475,7970917,7972727,7972036,7972083,7972196,7971898,7971723,7970909,7971879,7971952,7972525,7971913,7970538,7971193,7970388,7970399,7970406,7970864,7972653,7971492,7972560,7971838,7970542,7972585,7973531,7972309,7972494,7971424,7971592,7970670,7972437,7987409,7971196,7973461,7971168,7970597,7972816,7972158,7973642,7972079,7976951,7973979,7971591,7971468,7973720,7973513,7971344,7971707,7971054,7974474,7971181,7970608,7973525,7971925,7971471,7973730,7970395,7972589,7971333,7972284,7971343,7973375,7972787,7973348,7972522,7970590,7973170,7972666,7972712,7970515,7973201,7970658,7971888,7970423,7972505,7972114,7973075,7973027,7971545,7971115,7972731,7970566,7973000,7972986,7972552,7971464,7970508,7971986,7970500,7972990,7970625,7970489,7973405,7971070,7972382,7972448,7974915,7970425,7970957,7973364,7972045,7973336,7971211,7971779,7971649,7973154,7971689,7970817,7972968,7972145,7971389,7994273,7972935,7971491,7973064,7970969,7970741,7971873,7972526,7970922,7970457,7970655,7980440,7973184,7973371,7972860,7971072,7970584,7972554,7972405,7984086,7972569,7977905,7974478,7973939,8000116,8007242,7973552,7982232,7973271,7977657,8008089,7973462,7971244,8007445,7970913,8002744,8008496,7973811,8031492,7973093,7976772,7971784,8033215,7970863,7975055,7974117,8033256,7970918,7985598,7973241,7973898,7974947,7975893,7974191,7973968,7970484,7971630,7979699,7999651,7970552,7987658,7978783,8012660,7971764,7983732,7973031,7972430,7970820,7990310,7973576,7984776,7999658,7971593,7973624,7972778,7970896,7971177,7971328,8010298,7974393,7979471,7976781,7984117,7974384,7971500,7970703,7979113,7980637,7971935,7975567,7970413,8015264,7972764,7971859,7971409,7970606,8026486,8005337,7973294,7972446,7971132,8016475,7977553,7974609,7971152,7971437,7971360,7975647,7981695,8015728,7974106,8015770,8015650,7977658,8015752,7980015,7970497,7971830,7973077,7984286,7972646,7970694,7971966,7975343,7999815,7972026,7977736,7970520,7972490,7976906,7971725,7983692,7979034,7974645,7984271,8012642,7970860,7972711,7970967,7974338,7978388,7988032,8019433,7970887,8001551,7971718,7977399,7995782,7989821,7973015,7971754,7972379,7977935,7971143,7971995,7991082,7980779,7974135,8012203,8034648,7972388,7980421,7970859,8015763,7978979,7972077,8011738,8002631,8003123,7999707,7972967,7972372,7971547,7970676,7976828,8003118,8017296,7971086,7970684,7970681,7973376,7974009,7973323,7984928,7973385,7973369,7973088,7972580,7972443,7972106,7972041,7971421,7971249,7971159,7971082,7971061,7970558,7970474,8036253,8023006,8017437,8017431,8016498,8012182,8012176,8003938,7988108,7986466,7983760,7981303,7977523,7977263,7973409,7972785,7972057,7970877,7970511,7999767,7999750,7970779,7970543,8008491,8008456,8007987,8007983,8007981,8007980,8007979,7976939,7976934,7976929,7976928,7975363,7975356,7975352,7975349,7975348,7976995,7972845,7972069],"score":304,"text":"Please lead with the location of the position and include the keywords INTERN, REMOTE, or VISA if the corresponding sort of candidate is welcome.
