[ale] Ruby for sysadmins?

[Ed Cashin]

Check out an episode of the Ruby Rogues podcast.  They run an ad for
hired.com that says that (from memory) "the average ruby developer
gets an average offer of $130,000 and a hiring bonus of ...".

Along the way, I got the impression from the conversations there that
there's no shortage of work for ruby programmers.

A few ruby-based technologies that come to mind as currently in demand
are Puppet/Chef, Vagrant, and Ruby on Rails.

The podcast has little to do with ruby, though.  It waxes
philosophical about all kinds of programming related topics.  I like
it.

That said, I get the impression that Python would be a better bet for
career development.
