Fretless was created so we could continue to hone our craft together, work on interesting projects with interesting people, and help others hone their craft, too. We’re senior developers and technical leaders. Sometimes we join an existing team to sling code and provide senior-level leadership. Other times we tackle a project that a client is unable to complete on their own. Sometimes our work is to teach others!
Geographically, sometimes we work together, sometimes we work remotely, and sometimes we work onsite with our client. We often write web and mobile applications in Ruby and JavaScript (including React, Angular, Ember, etc.). We’re down for other languages, but we’re known for those.
Community is important to us. We can often be found attending, presenting at, or organizing local meetups, such as Indy.rb, Btown.rb, and our High Fives Happy Hour. Several of us are heavily involved in Indy Hackers, too!
We believe strongly in the criteria and conclusions as to what a senior developer is put forth in Frontside's article, The Conjoined Triangles of Senior-Level Development. (Check out our spin on it in Davey's talk at Indy.rb, The Path to Senior. In particular, being a senior developer is about more than just technical ability; it’s about leadership, connectedness, and technical ability. We strive to be good developers, great communicators, full-time learners, and teachers.
