One of the great things about starting a company is the ability to team up with some of the best talent you can find. It’s a nice feeling to be extremely excited when you hire someone. Every time we have brought someone on, I’ve wanted to tell the world. It’s a fantastic feeling.

We are extremely excited to welcome Scott Barron to EdgeCase.

Scott is a member of the Ruby on Rails Core Team, avid twitter monkey (although we will have to work on his nic), and incredible developer. We are looking forward to not only working with him, but helping him with his incredible contributions to the open source community.

Scott lives (and will remain) in Cincinnati. We have worked hard on creating an environment that allows us to pair-program even if the person is remote. It works really well for Jim and I. With video skype, we are able to feel as if the person is right there, combine it with ssh + screen + emacs and it’s no different than sitting in the same room.

Welcome Scott!
