And Then There Was One

About four months ago I took a leap of faith and decided to join the rest of you who enjoy the flexibility of self-employment and the ability to work with the technology you actually enjoy and went out on my own. Y|Factorial, LLC was born after a lot of thought about where I was, where I wanted to go and what I want to do – and the answer was to create my own Ruby software development shop.

I definitely have very strong feelings about what Y|Factorial stands for, how it goes about its business and how it will manage its employees. Much of it is still a work in progress, but it’s my intent to be as painfully transparent about this maturation process as possible over on The Naked Company blog. I’m sure I’ll make a few mistakes, fall on my face a few times, and even anger some – but the hope is that, overall, it will be of some benefit.

So, take a peek, laugh at my naivety and maybe even drop me a line if you’re looking for development help.

Cheers.

    ”...how it will manage its employees.”

    If it manages to make them wealthy, sign me up ;) Good luck, Ryan. I look forward to following the blog, and I hope it doesn’t distract you from the Edge Rails tidbits - I’m counting on you to keep me up to speed :-)
