Qualifications

You’ve heard of Ruby and Rails and have experience working with a language like Ruby, Java, or Python. You may even know enough about Javascript to have opinions about how frequently "the new hot thing" changes.
You love learning about new technologies but understand the value of using something old if it still does everything you need it to do.
You care about the long-term maintainability of the codebase and will learn to advocate for refactoring and clean-ups where appropriate.
You care about work-life balance and want your company to care about it, too; you'll put in the extra hour when needed but won't let it become a habit.
