a proposal. You might be one of the backend hackers or work on a

Hi, I'm Robby.

Robby Russell

I run Planet Argon, where we help organizations keep their Ruby on Rails apps maintainable—so they don't have to start over. I created Oh My Zsh to make developers more efficient and host the Maintainable.fm podcast to explore what it takes to build software that lasts.
