Hey Michael, happy to help if you want to try Hatchbox!

We can be more cost effective, but don't have the autoscaling capabilities others do, so depends on what you need.

Shoutout to @marcoroth.dev for Herb. Just fixed a bunch of small typos in our HTML that it found.

WTF folks. As if that was their choice!

Where are the other companies pushing Ruby and Rails with real money and resources to be on par?

Talk is cheap.
