We’d like to welcome two new members of our programming team.
Tom Ward hails from London and has been active in the Rails community since 2005. He was responsible for the SQLServerAdapter back in the day and has a cool 37 commits(!) under his belt for Rails. He’s formerly of Go Free Range, the team behind big parts of the GOV.UK project. We’re very happy to have him here, thanks to the great recommendation of fellow UK employee Pratik, who made the connection.
Zach Waugh is from Baltimore and the creator of the awesome Flint iOS and OSX clients for Campfire. Much of 37signals have already been enjoying Campfire through Zach’s clients, so we are thrilled that he’ll be able to join.
Both guys will of course stay where they’ve chosen to live and work remotely. We have a lot of both web and mobile projects to dig into, so great to have them both here. That now makes 41 of us!

You have all of these developers however you haven’t released a new product in years.
What the heck do all these developers do?

on 25 Oct 13Tiffany, our finest mission is to make the products we’re already getting paid for better. Which includes improving reliability, speed, and other behind-the-scenes upgrades, as well as new features and bug fixes, and expanding platform coverage (mobile web, iOS, Android).
I’d love to see examples of companies with a similar amount of paying customers and millions of users who are able to do more with a programming staff of 11 people. They must surely have figured some productivity secrets out that we can learn from!

on 26 Oct 13Exciting. Let’s hope for campfire updates! Maybe we finally can have notifications in the browser for casual users now with another CF lover on the 37 train.
