Loud Thinking by David Heinemeier Hansson

　　If a tweet is uttered with no followers, does it make a peep? I'm getting going with Twitter on http://twitter.com/d2h.    (查看原文)

　　I had a great time on the West coast recently with stops in Santa Barbara and Palo Alto. What always surprises me at events like these is the huge number of people I meet that are doing cool things with Rails that I've never heard of. The kind of people who are just really happy to be using Rails and happy to build businesses with it.
　　Most of them are not heavily involved with the community in the sense of always being in front of it. They're not the ones constantly commenting on the blogs. They're just enjoying working with the tools. That's a really refreshing sentiment.

　　I'll be speaking at an event put on by AppFolio at 6:30PM on the 17th, at Paul Graham's Startup School on the 19th at around noon, and finally meeting up with some people from the SD Forum Ruby conference on the eve of the 19th. If you're at any of these events, do stop by and say hi.    (查看原文)
