Ruby on Rails (newbie) to make a website or commit to open source on github, for remote employment (no experience)?

Question

Ruby on Rails

Hello. What is the best thing to do to get hired remotely (Ruby on Rails without experience), a copy of a site like Newstudio or Lostfilm, or commits to open source. If commits, then how? I go to github looking for opensource projects, go to the issues tab and can't find something I can handle.

Answer 1

First of all, listen to Lonely Ice , Moskus and Sergey Gornostaev . But on the merits of the question - there is no fundamental difference. Whether your code will be in the context of someone else's project or your own, it will still be your code! A specialist will understand your level simply by looking at how you write. What exactly you write is not important.

Answer 2

Short answer: Open source commits are better if you can do it. And instead of a copy of Lostfilm, it's better to go through Hartle's tutorial and write a copy of the twitter
A little longer: Most companies are likely to give you their test task to save their money. Selecting a candidate and evaluating his code costs the developers time, which means that it is easier to give a test task in which the evaluator knows exactly where to look. Much more efficient than trying to find interesting solutions in unfamiliar code and evaluate them already.
