This week on our panel, we have Jamison Dance.JAMISON:\xa0 Hi guys!CHUCK:\xa0 Joe Eames.JOE:\xa0 Howdy?CHUCK:\xa0 Merrick Christensen.MERRICK:\xa0 What\u2019s up?CHUCK:\xa0 AJ O\u2019Neal is trying to join the call. He\u2019s here.AJ:\xa0 Yo! Yo! Yo! Coming at you live from the Rental Agreement sphere of Provo, Utah.MERRICK:\xa0 He lives!CHUCK:\xa0 I\u2019m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.tv. And this week, we have a special guest. That\u2019s Justin Searls.JUSTIN:\xa0 Hello.CHUCK:\xa0 So, why don\u2019t you tell us a little bit about yourself, Justin?JUSTIN:\xa0 Okay. Well, now that I\u2019m on the spot, my name is Justin. I\u2019m a software developer. I live in Columbus, Ohio. About a year ago, me and a guy named Todd Kaufman started a new company called Test Double. Previously, he and I had been doing consulting for a long, long time. And we\u2019re up to eight people now. And we have a good time building software with an emphasis on terrific interaction design which has resulted in us kind of developing a specialty for well-crafted frontend code, predominantly JavaScript. And I imagine that\u2019s probably why I\u2019m here today.CHUCK:\xa0 Awesome. Alright. Well, we brought you on to talk about Jasmine. Jasmine was written by, was it Pivotal Labs?\xa0JUSTIN:\xa0 Yeah, Pivotal Labs guys. A guy names Christian Williams who I think has since moved on to Square, and D.W. Frank who\u2019s still at Pivotal. They wrote the core library and me and a whole bunch of other people in the community have piled on with different runners and add-ons and extensions in the sort of like little ecosystem of the 25 people who write unit tests for JavaScript.CHUCK:\xa0 All 25 of you, huh?JUSTIN:\xa0 Well, it\u2019s not a lot, right? It\u2019s been a fun journey of being one of the very few people who really, really got excited or chose to get excited about making it easier for folks to write tests in JavaScript or as easy as it would be for whatever servers and language they\u2019d be using.Special Guest: Justin Searls.
