Obie Fernandez is the author of The Rails Way and started the successful Hashrocket consultancy. He recently created a bit of a stir with his proposed Rails Maturity Model. Obie was kind enough to take a few minutes and discuss RMM and the Ruby community’s reaction to it with me.

Here are some of the items discussed in this episode:

• Rails Business Mailing List
  
  
  
  • top rails shops by reputation?
  
  
  • Introducing RMM, the Rails Maturity Model
  
  


• Capability Maturity Model Integration


• Apology for a Rails Maturity Model


• Obie: NO


• RMM on Twitter


• Rails Maturity Model, Certification and the Rails Ecosystem


• Rails Is Not a Cult


• RMM Behind the Scenes


• Morning Standup at Hashrocket


• Rails Maturity Model

Apologies for the hammering noise during part of the episode. I tried to remove as much of it as I could.
