JohnnyT (a.k.a. John Thornton) has been developing web applications for 16 years, the last 8 of which have been in Ruby. He was converted to Smalltalk in 2010 after looking into MagLev (GitHub) and discovering the magical world of GemStone/S powering it all. He works on Amber and SubWars (an open-source GPS browser based submarine game) to scratch his Smalltalk itch and earns his living working for Rakuten MediaForge in Salt Lake City, Utah.
