I'm John. I'm self-taught with 5 years of Rails experience.
Professional: I've been a freelancer for the past year, before that worked at New Relic and before that at a consulting dev shop. All in all I've worked on a wide variety of projects from "rails new" to IPO.
Community: Have been a speaker at SF Rails, mentor at dev bootcamp, teacher at rails bridge, and creator/contributor to open source (rails, rspec, chronic, active merchant, created orderly gem)
You can keep me stimulated by throwing me at new problems and technologies and/or by letting me own features from requirements discussion to finish.
What does that mean about pay service? Is that now free? Am I missing the distinction between what's on the linked page and the normal webapp monitoring service?
It looks like the main reason to pay is for data retention -- otherwise the free service only gives you 24 hours of data. IIRC that was also the distinction between the previous services New Relic offered, free for 24 hours, pay for more.
Old (?) free accounts did not have full analysis tools - you could not break down slow requests etc. with Java monitoring, only see the average response time over a time range.
Correct, this is a new feature, in addition to all our existing features. This feature is available at all plan levels, but some other New Relic features require a paid plan.
Using, authoring, and publishing plugins is free. If you have a paid New Relic account, all this goodness costs $0 extra - same if you have a free New Relic account.
Remote: Maybe
Willing to relocate: No
Technologies: Ruby, Rails (and so many gems), HTML/CSS/JS (angular, backbone, jquery), iOS (some obj-c, interface builder), databases (postgres including json + hstore, mysql)

Open to full time and freelance.
