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

A smattering of t-bot news

So, we just got word that the last chapter for our book has made it through the copy editing stages and has been delivered to ‘production’. We’ve got the proof of the cover, and we’re on our way to release it in September.

You can preorder it now from Amazon.com

Also, we’re almost up and running with our new New York City office. Located at 407 Broome St., we’re sharing space with the great folks at thehappycorp

Finally, we’d like to welcome our newest member to the thoughtbot team, Dan Croak. We met Dan while working with (for) him on National Gazette and we’re very happy to have him join us.

We’re continuing to look for excellent programmers and web designers (or people who want to be) for both our Boston and NYC offices, for more information go here.

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.
