Our Cookbook

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

Great post today by the 37signal folk, drawing a paralell between the popular chefs and open software companies, like Bobby Flay and Rachael Ray.

The more they give, the better off they are. The more they open up, the better off they are. The more they let you inside their kitchen the better off they are. These chefs have built empires by making their knowledge available to the public. They are astute business people.

Thats exactly what sites like facebook and 37signals are doing, buy releasing their core software components.

We at third rail are in complete agreement and are releasing our building blocks as we build them.

Keep an eye out for our next recipe soon!
