Wow. I'm 21 years old, no degree, with only some web design background and A+ certification in Silicon Valley. I got a job making ~$20/hr($42K/year salary) with 3 weeks PTO and tons of other benefits. Someone with 5 years of experience, hell even half that much experience can make atleast $30/hr where I live.
It's even less than $22/hr because the 40 hours per week here doesn't include work outside of the classroom such as grading papers and projects, or "Assist students outside of class as necessary.".
This seems like a really, really fun class to teach. I would definitely do it, just for fun.
But I wouldn't do it for money, because the pay sucks. Those with the skills to teach it right are out doing it in the private sector and making more, and still having fun.
How is this 22/hour? It says 105,000 per year which @ 40/week is roughly $50 an hour.. Also, I have 2.5 years web dev experience, and sadly only earning $15 an hour currently, not too many Rails/Laravel jobs here in Dayton, OH.

I'm not complaining or ignoring that this is below market rate. But it's good to stay humble.
This is not the same as 5 years of rails experience.
They are not looking for developers, they're looking for people to teach a crash course in web development.
