Open Source is the future of technology.
I co-founded and served as CTO & Head of Product at 140 Proof, ofthe first interest graph company. Open source inspires me every day. My motto is Show Your Work. You can read the blog, browse code, or follow me on Twitter
Open Source Contributions
In addition to my own projects, I've made small contributions to some great open source projects like: Bitcoin, Bundler, Faraday, Homebrew, Hub, Middleman, Nanoc, Rack, Rails Admin, Rubinius, and SabNZBd.
Dotfiles and Key Commands
I am pretty famous for my prodigious knowledge of obscure keyboard shortcuts and unix command-line tricks. To get yourself set up with a bangin' (not bloated) unix terminal setup for Zsh, you want my dotfiles project:
cd ~
git clone git@github.com:jm3/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
# run setup to symlink everything into your home directory
cd .dotfiles && ./setup
Merb, Unicorn, Rails, and 140 Proof
Pinterest, Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook: 140 Proof's Revenue API goes where no one else has gone before, building development communities and powering massive revenue growth for app developers and website publishers.

Design
“If your page is like a nice orderly cemetery, moving some of the headstones around or inflating them really i can upset the balance of the space. But if your page is like a basketball court, things get out of balance if the elements *don't* all respond to the movements, expansions, and contractions of their peers. I'm not talking about gratuitous typographical animation, but about essential typographical adaptation to the constraints of the rendering environment and the needs of the user. It's about porting visual design intelligence into runtime, out of `design time.'" -- Todd Fahrner
