Andrew Mason.

Ruby on Rails engineer at Podia, co-host of Remote Ruby, and based in Arizona.

I write about Rails, Ruby tooling, and the stuff I learn while shipping software for a living. Most posts started as a note I was writing for myself and turned out to be useful for somebody else.

You'll find my writing, open source, and talks and podcasts here. Mostly so I can find them again later.

The goal is to show that the Ruby community isn't something you join, it's something you help create.
