I could see people salivating when they saw that a RoR developer was looking for work, only to have their hopes dashed when you wrote remote.

BTW, GIT is not an acronym.

I've never understood the desire to work remotely, unless you are nomadic and travel the world.

I can see wanting to work remotely if you want either a flex schedule (though remote does not necessarily equate to that), or if you live somewhere where your desired profession is not. For RoR, you may want to remotely work for a Valley company if you live in flyover country.

Yes, because I live in Italy and I'd want for a Valley Company (or Uk-based)

yup, was about to respond until I saw the "remotely" part.
