Mac and Ruby: A great pair.
We drove all over San Diego to get our first two iMacs '20 for two new developers. When we bought these first generation Intel machines we are taking a chance.. there are always issues with first generation hardware. We have chosen to be an all Mac shop. This is rare in and of itself. (be a first generation Mingle member by sending and email to alpha@mingle.com)
We have also chosen to build our products on the open source Ruby development framework. This is working out well for us. If all goes well, by summer we should have the largest Ruby development team in the world. We should also be running the largest Ruby based website.
choosing Ruby also had an added benefit that I did not realize. The developers that have chosen to extend their knowledge base into Ruby are on the bleeding edge of the development world. Simple by requiring Ruby, we have isolated a group of people who have a desire to try new things and push themselves.
Cheers,
Mike

Dude, you're killing me with your dream work setup - intel macs, ruby, gaslamp... all you need is a margarita machine in the conference room and you're living The Life.
You can tell VCs and other suits that it's a "Slurpee Machine".
