You take off for just a little vacation and come back to an inbox stuffed with job offers for Ruby on Rails:

• LookSmart, based in San Francisco, is putting their enterprise app on Rails — a dynamic advertising marketplace managing millions of listings and bids, syndication partners, integration with CRM, credit card processing, web services APIs, etc. They’re working with Mike Clark and James Duncan Davidson to help bootstrap this project, and they’re looking for a top-notch, high-energy lead for the team, plus an additional engineer.
