One thing I learned on the Spring conference circuit is that company culture is a serious, serious thing. In some respects, the web nation really leads the charge on flexible human resources control. After a great conversation with Ben Gott of Indistr.com, I got to thinking about the Ruby culture. PHP and Javascript can come along too
Ruby companies adopt the ruby mindset. We like to get things done quickly and efficiently. We focus on a user’s needs, while attempting to circumvent busy work through Ruby’s super cool time-saving conventions. We believe in handling business simply and giving control back to our clients.

In that respect, I think human resources has really come a long way thanks, in part, to Ruby. Construction is agile, as we often have to turn on a dime. You can’t work in a chaotic environment without an open, trusting, results-based relationship. The beer at the end of the day tastes a lot better when it comes with satisfaction of a job well done.
