“As a Hashrocket client, I can attest first hand to the greatness of the pair system. Obviously the two-heads are better than one, but even more importantly, two programmers working on solutions really ramps up the creativity and efficiency. If I have an issue that pops up, between the team, they are able to work out a solution that not only solves the problem, but improves on the original request. It's a constant and productive back and forth. I wouldn't expect a football team to have the quarterback play the entire game alone -- he'd get killed by the other team. With an additional teammate, that quarterback is able to really think about each play instead of watching his back continually. And just when that quarterback throws his great pass and has a tired arm -- the other guy takes the lead. It not only reduces burnout, it increases the elegance and the "wow" factor in solving problems. Also, as a client, I feel like I have an enthusiastic t eam working for me -- not just a brilliant programmer. It costs more per hour, but it takes less hours and within those fewer hours, we get fantastic solutions.”

“I highly, highly recommend Hashrocket. They work really quickly. The quality of work here is higher than I've ever seen. I really enjoy the story carding process. It gives clients that don't know a lot about web development a great view into the world of web development and the pair programming just works so well having two people essentially working as one person on a project. You definitely get what you pay for.”

“I really thought of Hashrocket as a web development company, programmers but they also understand process. They understand business problems. They're just very smart people. They happen to know how to write code but they're also just really bright. The collaboration during the process, having several people working through problems has been really gratifying. Not only do they understand the issues, they're actually helping me untangle the issues and then helping me translate them into software that will help my employees do their jobs better.”

“I came to Hashrocket looking for a better way to manage my software development. Hashrocket has a process that breaks the issues down, focuses the development and estimates time required. They then track the development against the estimated time to do the project. For the first time I actually felt in control of costs and of time to complete milestones. I was very skeptical re the pairs programming process but it works. There was very little time wasted chasing bugs, their process works. I highly recommend Hashrocket! ”

“If you’re looking for the best rails developers, you’ll find them at Hashrocket. Led by Obie Fernandez, each Hashrocket developer offers a unique skill above the normal criteria of what it takes to be a great web developer. In addition, you’ll notice that each developer on your project truly cares about doing things in the right way, and utilizing the right technologies to get the job done. If you have a substantial project, with an equally substantial budget, and you care about getting it done right the first time, Hashrocket is for you.”

“There was something unique when I spoke to Obie on the phone. Probably the fact that he was sincere, honest and true, and which I didn't know back then just how honest he could be, sometimes painfully honest. As we spent more time learning about Rails, and Ruby and Hashrocket, we decided that they were definitely the right partner for us with Taigan. Hashrocket introduced us to several different tools: Pivotal Tracker, Basecamp, storycarding. All those things were pretty foreign to us. Agile process wasn't foreign to us, but why we needed so many tools when all we wanted to do was to give them our wireframes and designs was foreign. We spent about 10 days over the course of a month storycarding with a pair of Hashrocket developers. We didn't quite understand why we needed to pay for two resources for that, but probably about three months into the process it became clear to us that we had really picked the right partner. We had almost an unhealthy relationship with our team, because they were so amazing that we just wanted them with us all the time. They understood the model and became part of it, and helped us understand the parts of our business that we had not thought out yet, at such a granular level. Then it became obvious why we were using Basecamp and Tracker and why we had a pair of developers in storycarding. If we went back to January of this year, there would be many things on the website that we didn't know that we needed. The look, the feel, the richness of it - Taigan is just a very wonderful experience - there's beautiful and unique items on the site, and it's almost a comparison to Hashrocket, that it's a great experience and very wonderful people, and that they were able to take what we were trying to achieve through Taigan and write code to put it to the site and it's everything that we could have imagined and more...”

“We turned to Hashrocket to help solve problems, and get us on track. They were just what we needed! Hashrocket was flexible, professional, timely, and most importantly, got the job done. I was very impressed with the systems they have in place to maintain quality work. On top of the quality, they were just nice people to work with at a time when we were stressed. We successfully completed our project on time, thanks to Hashrocket. ”

“Hashrocket is an example of one of the rare companies that does everything right. They practice what they preach and have some of the best developers in the Rails community working there. I've had the opportunity of reviewing code written by Hashrocket and, as a developer myself, I was thoroughly impressed with it. This is code that was extremely well written, very clean, easy to understand, completely tested, and adhered to all rails best practices.”

“The demos have gone extremely well. Every person that has seen it has excitedly said: simple, clean. The lawyer for the the band manager we're working with went head over heels when she saw it and pro-actively wanted to connect me with her investor clients. The working demo that Hashrocket produced has spurred significant evolution in our own conversation with our IP advisors about what is now needed as the next step in its evolution. We are excited to close our funding and be able to re-engage with Hashrocket ASAP to complete the alpha site!”

“Working with Hashrocket was productive, instructive, and a lot of fun. It's a friendly and understated crew (at least the ones I worked with ;-) ), who approached the project with eagerness and skill. When I was there, I saw that they're an internally supportive crew, and thus a pool of shared brainpower to bring to every project. If you have a rails project you need to get off the ground, it's a tight shop with the lot of them pulling together to get the apps done. ”

“We selected Hashrocket to provide Rails development expertise on the coClarity web-application. We brought our prototype-beta product to Hashrocket and they helped us deploy, add features to, and make the application more scaleable. We worked closely with one of Hashrocket's most experienced Rails developers and made fantastic progress while on site. We were able to leverage the considerable skills and experience of whole team when necessary. Hashrocket are great to work with. Their people are astute and very knowledgeable about Rails. They exceeded our expectations and we recommend them wholeheartedly. With Hashrocket's help, coClarity is further down the path to fulfilling its promise, as the tool to revolutionise how people coordinate projects together. ”

“Upon first meeting Obie Fernandez at SXSW I was immediately impressed by his passion for what he does and the Ruby on Rails Language. I felt that if he believed in our project his passion would be comparable. His analysis of Wilmetta’s project was thorough, honest and affordable. Although I did not work with his developers, Ben McDonald, from Hashrocket’s Business Office was equally impressive and efficient. I would definitely consider working with Hashrocket again on future projects; in fact they would be my first choice. Jackie Fischer ”

“Finding talented developers is not only challenging but time consuming as well. When we needed to build an early version of our product, Event Seek, we sought out a team that could help us fill a talent gap at a critical time for our organization. We needed to align ourselves with a team of programmers who could not only deliver quality quickly, but who would set the stage for our own internal development team to come later. From our first meeting, Hashrocket set a standard for professional results that would permeate throughout the project. Obie and Ben worked closely with managment to iron out challenges throughout the project while the developers worked hand in hand with our project team, resulting in a fluid and supportive relationship on all sides. Thanks to Hashrocket, Event Seek made the leap from well crafted idea to real live early-stage application. If you're looking for quality development and quality people, look no further.”

They worked hard to understand our business and objectives but in turn made sure we understood their process, introducing us to agile development. They were a great team to work with and brought solid ideas and enthusiasm to the task at hand.

“I really enjoyed working with Hashrocket. From the start, it was comforting to know I was dealing with the top dogs in the industry. The project I gave them was one of the most challenging sites I have ever been involved with. Their extensive programming expertise, streamlined production system, and friendly customer service was beyond anything I had experienced with anyone in the industry. After my great experience with Hashrocket, I would not dream of entrusting a complex project to anyone else.”

They also dedicated a few days to writing detailed user stories with our team. Hashrocket went above and beyond to launch a great feature-rich site in a month! The 3-2-1 launch is a great services based product and I highly recommend it to any company looking to get bring their idea to reality. - joanne jastatt / www.matchlessmusic.com”

“Hashrocket does one thing: web applications in Ruby on Rails, and it does that exceedingly well. When looking at a large number of shops to embed with to learn Ruby on Rails in the context of a small project, I contacted Hashrocket because of their reputation, and chose them because of their professionalism and responsiveness to my needs. I went to their offices in Florida intending to learn Rails. Instead, I not only learned Rails, but also learned the power of real agile programming: we went from specification to a working prototype in a week. I was especially impressed with the team structure, morale and discipline, and their group of solid people with complementary skills who solved every problem I threw at them. They have a fantastic process for agile, test-driven development that yields rapid results with maintainable, scalable code. Hashrocket is, bar none, one of the most extraordinary teams I've ever worked with.”
