PuneRuby Interviews Ruby Developers

Posted by Jeremy Voorhis Wed, 23 Aug 2006 17:55:00 GMT

Satish Talim, founder of Indian Ruby developers’ community Pune Ruby, has interviewed several Ruby developers via email and posted the responses to the group’s blog at http://www.puneruby.com/. Interviews that I found especially interesting featured Bruce Tate, Chang Sau Sheong, Phil Thompson and Topher Cyll. My interview was just posted today as well.

Two curious facts about the interview series:

  1. Only two of the nine interviewees was from a country other than the United States. One was from Singapore. None were from India; surely PuneRuby has a few Ruby rockstars of its own.
  2. Over half of the interviewees are from Portland, Oregon. The other four are friends and acquaintances of mine through our own Portland Ruby Brigade.

    Yes, there are a few Ruby ‘rockstars’ from India, but their interviews would come in a bit later…

  2. JV said about 9 hours later:

    Satish,

    I would enjoy reading them.

    All the best to you and PuneRuby!

  4. Satish Talim said 5 days later:
    We now have published a few interviews of people from:

    India: Shashank Date.

    Switzerland: Jens-Christian Fischer.

    In the days to come, I will publish interviews of people from other countries too.

  5. JV said 5 days later:

    Satish,

    Thanks for keeping up updated! Shashank’s interview was a pleasure to read. I also owe a debt of gratitude to Shashank: though I had played with Ruby and QT during college, my first serious escapades with Ruby happened courtesy of the one-click installer.
