Welcome to Giant Robots Smashing Into Other Giant Robots — a weblog about development, business, design and technology — written by thoughtbot.

Fresh off the robot assembly line

We’d like to welcome four new robots to the thoughtbot team

Angelo Simeoni – Angelo has the job that I secretly wish I could have: semantic markup samurai. He’ll be summarizing your tables and declaring your doctypes in a browser near you any day now.

Kevin Burg – Kevin was on the winning rails rumble team, and keeps wearing this belt around the New York City office to prove a point. We’re not sure what the point is yet, but it’s bound to be profound once it’s identified.

Mike Burns – Mike’s cousin is Nick Burns, your company’s computer guy. Unlike Nick, Mike won’t fix your printer, but he will fix your application’s domain model.

Joe Ferris – Joe was lost in a sea of projects, unable to breathe the sweet air of agile development. Now he’s sailing a fancy MVC yacht across the seven seas.

So welcome aboard to all four!

thoughtbot is hiring

We are hiring web developers and web designers in both Boston and New York, NY.

What are we up to?

We built Shoulda, an eclectic set of additions to Test::Unit; Paperclip to manage uploaded files without hassle; Jester, a REST/ActiveResource client library written in Javascript, and Squirrel, an enhancement for ActiveRecord's find syntax; — amongst some other projects.


Chad (President) and Jon (CTO) co-authored a technical book titled Pro Active Record: Databases with Ruby and Rails, which explores the ins and outs of the ActiveRecord ruby library. You can buy it today at Amazon.com.
