Rudy on Rails

I just got the following email from a recruiter:

"Viewed a resume on Dice. We are working with a client in Columbia, SC needing Rudy on Rails to assist them with an upgrade. This is a short term contract and the client is offering a telecommute option.

Would like to discuss the details. What would be a good time to call you?

Thank you, in advance, for your time and consideration. Looking forward to speaking with you."



Maybe he wanted to say that he needed Rudy on Meds to assist them with an upgrade. That makes more sense.


I know we all love to trash recruiters and think they are an inferior life form, but maybe it was just a typo.

I learned about the Cobra programming language on HN http://cobra-language.com/docs/quality/ and at first glance I thought it was some kind of joke on Python. But no, it's real enough.

Now ask a recruiter to find a Cobra programmer. He's going to run into Python developers who think he is an idiot. The recruiter doesn't know, maybe somebody created a new language called Rudy ( a ruby + d mix ?) and ported Rails.

Disclaimer: I'm working an an app where these guys would be my customers so I'm trying to see them in a positive light.
