This week on our panel, we have Jamison Dance.JAMISON:  Hi guys!CHUCK:  Joe Eames.JOE:  Howdy?CHUCK:  Merrick Christensen.MERRICK:  What’s up?CHUCK:  AJ O’Neal is trying to join the call. He’s here.AJ:  Yo! Yo! Yo! Coming at you live from the Rental Agreement sphere of Provo, Utah.MERRICK:  He lives!CHUCK:  I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.tv. And this week, we have a special guest. That’s Justin Searls.JUSTIN:  Hello.CHUCK:  So, why don’t you tell us a little bit about yourself, Justin?JUSTIN:  Okay. Well, now that I’m on the spot, my name is Justin. I’m 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’re 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’s probably why I’m here today.CHUCK:  Awesome. Alright. Well, we brought you on to talk about Jasmine. Jasmine was written by, was it Pivotal Labs? JUSTIN:  Yeah, Pivotal Labs guys. A guy names Christian Williams who I think has since moved on to Square, and D.W. Frank who’s 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:  All 25 of you, huh?JUSTIN:  Well, it’s not a lot, right? It’s 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’d be using.Special Guest: Justin Searls.
