This week’s episode is an interview I did a few weeks ago with Kevin Rutherford. Kevin is the author of Refactoring in Ruby. He’s an agile coach, and blogs at http://silkandspinach.net. Finally, he has written the reek tool, which identifies code smells in your code.

In this episode Scott and I talk to two developers who created something phenomenal: they hit a Homerun if you will. In the first story, I talk to David Heinemeier Hansson, creator of Ruby on Rails, partner at 37Signals, and author of Rework about the inspiration and shepherding of Ruby on Rails. In the second story, Scott talks to Dan Bricklin, who in the late 70s and early 80s helped to usher in the computer age, as well as a new industry. Dan is the creator of Visicalc - the first spreadsheet program.
