Office Tour
From client projects to our own ventures, we are driven by a genuine love for creating great products.
We've been using Rails since version 1.0 was officially released in 2006, and we work exclusively on Rails projects.
We've been lucky to have worked with so many interesting businesses since 2005. Their continued trust is our greatest endorsement.
We tackle tough challenges and deliver top quality. Our people are our greatest asset.
To be truly fulfilled at work, you have to be doing something meaningful. To avoid burnout, we partner with clients where we can truly add value, and we invest in the best tools, equipment, and environment to ensure our team thrives. We believe great work comes from passion, not pressure.
It's better to avoid going overboard with excessive features, especially in the initial development cycle. We help clients focus on functionality that delivers the most value while achieving their goals. Sometimes that means suggesting we table an idea for now to get the basics right.
By focusing on nailing the fundamentals of the problem a product is trying to solve, we're able to quickly get it in the hands of the people who will actually be using it. That's when we really get to test initial assumptions through real world feedback, and make changes early on, if necessary.
We’d rather risk over-communicating than leaving anyone in the dark. It's our goal to be wholly transparent and radically honest with both our clients and our team. By constantly keeping everyone updated every single day with our progress, expectations are always anchored in reality.
We strive for clean, elegant Ruby code that reads like plain english. Well-written code is easy to understand, debug, and maintain. One of the biggest reasons why people hire us is because of our attention to detail and the quality of our code.
Our strength as a team depends on our collective knowledge and experience. We encourage our developers to contribute to open source and explore new ideas and emerging tech. Useful knowledge is gained from the curious pursuit of something new and interesting.
