Jason Hoffman's European Rails Conf Presentation

September 26, 2006 – 10:41 am

Of the twenty people that work for Joyent, only four of us regularly see each other at an office. The remainder are working around the clock around the world from Australia to Prague.

September 13, 2006 – 4:23 pm

I was on stage with John Fowler, EVP of Sun today to talk about how Joyent is using Sun technologies for our customers. Here’s the video. My Q&A with John is about 90% of the way in. We view Sun as a way to outsource our need to have hundreds of PhDs building out the [...]
