This week on our panel we have David Brady. DAVID: Oh! My gosh Are we still doing this? CHUCK: Yeah! We have Josh Susser. JOSH: [laughs] Wow Flashbacks! CHUCK: We also have Avdi Grimm. AVDI: Hello from Pennsylvania CHUCK: James Edward Gray. JAMES: I feel compelled to point out nobody has funded me for a hundred million dollars of anything. [Laughs] CHUCK: I’m Charles Max Wood from devchat.tv and this week we have a guest and that is Joe Ruscio, did I say that right? JOE: Ah close, yeah Ruscio. CHUCK: Ruscio, okay. It looks Italian and so my brain just kicked over to that pronunciation. JOE: Yeah it’s six letters but three syllables. That’s a lot in just a short space. CHUCK: [Laughs] Kinda like you. JOE: Yup [Laughs] CHUCK: Alright well, you want to introduce yourself for people who are new to who you are? JOE: Yeah, yeah, so I’m the CTO of a company called Librato and we do monitoring that’s our thing, measure everything. I also organize the San Francisco Metrics Meet Up and we once a month talk about metrics monitoring stuff and I have been a Rubyist for about, I guess it’s like three years now which I think makes me relatively new here, but I enjoyed it. JAMES: So, Metrics Meet up, that’s like everybody comes with a ruler or? CHUCK: No. A meter stick, that’s the standard. JOE: Yard sticks are not allowed. JAMES: Gotcha! DAVID: Take those units and get out. JAMES: There’s really like, so like tell me what you guys typically discuss there that’s cool? DAVID: Yes, we’ve done.. Well actually our third one is tonight and so basically what we do is we just get people together, to talk generally on a couple topics. Usually it’s either some tooling someone has put together, like some of outsource project like we’ve had from D3.js, Mike Bostock came to talk about Horizon Charts, I think cubism.js is a library he gave a talk on, and one of my colleagues did a talk on act a support notifications. And also people come in and talk about how they do monitoring and practice. Mark McGranaghan from Heroku came in and talked about how they do monitoring, Aaron Quint from Paperless Post AQ is going to be there tonight talking about what those guys do. It’s a really broad. Anything from in practice to implementation details visualization, collection, storage, aggregation, analysis, anything to do with measuring. And also we had a talk actually on doing tracking business drivers from the guys at [Lacien] how they track unique visitors to their site. Really cool stuff,
