1 - Behind-the-Scenes Story of the Team and Rails Platform Behind Kickstarter

Steve kicks off the RubyNow podcast series with an interview with Lance Ivy, one of the original developers at Kickstarter. Tune in to learn how they scaled their tech team in response to the rapid growth of the user base and what he would have done differently if he could go back. Lance also talks about the balance between making progress and incurring technical debt and where he focussed his team's efforts. Towards the end of the podcast Lance provides and in-depth view of their Rails app and why they kept the codebase monolithic for most of the product's life.
