- #4: Predictable progress and safer deployments thanks to Ruby best practices like TDD, Capistrano, Agile; eminently readable code\nTell stories about our successes with startups and MVP\n
- #5: Ensuring you speak everyone’s language.\n
- #6: Note that Rayo is part of Prism 11, released today. What Infrastructure: Not only is the deployment “in the cloud” but both platforms are hosted applications. No need for sysadmins or server management at all.\n
