Stay active in the channels and you’ll find that you’re going to grow very quickly. A lot of people in there are already ruby devs and I bet any one of them would prefer to bring on a fellow Dragon Rider over interviewing random people.

Starting a second career is hard and I understand that game dev isn’t as marketable as web dev (with rails or something). But I promise you’ll pick up a thing or two (and being a familiar face pays itself is spades vs experience).

PS: I’m working on an RTS if you want to beta test it lol
