Zed A. Shaw is a software developer most commonly known for creating the Mongrel web server for Ruby web applications,[1] as well as his articles on technology, business, and technical communities. His most famous and well-covered piece was his article called "Rails is a Ghetto"[2][3] which has since been removed from his site.[4] Zed is also behind an initiative entitled, "Programming, Motherfucker" the manifesto for which he claims that his group of programmers are "tired of being told we're autistic idiots who need to be manipulated to work in a Forced Pair Programming chain gang."[5]
Software
Shaw authored the Mongrel web server for Ruby web applications.[6] Mongrel was the first web server used by Twitter, and inspired Node.js, according to its creator Ryan Dahl.[7] Mongrel2 is the language-agnostic successor to Mongrel.
He has also written a Python mail server called Lamson,[8] on which the mailing list site LibreList is built.

Shaw is the author of learncodethehardway.org, which offers to teach users Python, Ruby, C, Regex, and SQL.[9]
