Rubyology

Chris Matthieu and Steven Bristol interviewed Ezra Zygmuntowicz, the co-founder of Engine Yard! This 1 hour and 20 minute interview goes deep inside Ezra's mind. We covered his early programming days where he almost selected Python instead of Ruby but then came to his senses. We also discussed the early days of Engine Yard as well as the present infrastructure and the totally awesome new projects including: MERB, Rubinius, and Vertebra. Ezra is a really cool thought-leader in the Ruby/Rails community. Engine Yard is an incredibly innovative, business-class Rails hosting service with the ability to scale. My apologies in advance for some of the VoIP R2D2 experienced during this recording. The content is well worth it!
