Jeffrey Hardy joins 37signals Nov 27
35 comments Latest by Jeffro2pt0
Come January, Jeffrey Hardy will be joining the team here at 37signals. He’ll be working alongside Jeremy, Jamis, Sam, and myself on the programming side of things. We’re terribly excited to get him on board.
This also marks the return of the multi-country workforce label that we lost when I moved from Denmark a few years back. Jeffrey is from Toronto, Canada.
Jeffrey blogs at Quoted-Printable and is a co-author of Beginning Rails. Say hi to Jeffrey everyone.



Over 1 million people use 37signals' simple web-based software to collaborate on projects, track contacts, and organize their business with an intranet.

Curious, what will Kevin be working on / supporting when he comes on board?
I’m always interested in hearing about the inners of why and how 37signals makes decision.

Kevin? You mean Jeffrey :)?
He’ll be working on just about everything, like the rest of us. We don’t really have any hard lines of responsibility.

Having worked with Jeffrey at Unspace, I know he’s one valuable employee to have!
Ryan Norbauer 27 Nov 07
Congratulations Jeffrey. The reason why I and so many others admire 37signals is because they’ve shifted the discourse on software towards simplicity, aesthetics, and ultimately happiness. Here’s to hoping your life developing software for 37signals is full of that latter value. :)

Valve Software works in a similar, no defined boundaries, no real job titles, way.. and you know how good their stuff is! Congratulations to Jeffrey, and 37signals of course.
