Joe and Colin talk to Jason Hoffman, CTO of Joyent.  In the call, they talk about

• General overview of Joyent and how they provide a high-end on-demand infrastructure to their clients.
• How Joyent achieves on-demand scaling and how they compare to Amazon and Google's cloud offerings.
• How they have reached out to developers to make developing with their services free and easy.
• His history with Ruby and how to build an application to scale - most failures occur at administrative scale - not tiered or siloed correctly.  He compares Java, Ruby, and Erlang and talks about their DTrace probe offerings.
• Colin gave Jason Goose Bumps.
• LinkedIn's BumperSticker app is then discussed and how iRules helped with Facebook application caching causing 80% reduction in server processing.
• How the app stack should be cache - app switch - cache - app - cache - data stores.
• Jason proposed setting up a collection of iRules that every cloud provider should be using.
• He talks about Joyent's iControl Ruby library with an agreement to open source it - woo hoo!  He tops that off with a Ruby route to iRule translator.
• The call finishes off with recipes and an invitation to Taco Tuesdays at Nick's Crispy Taco in San Francisco.
