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]

Software

Shaw authored the Mongrel web server for Ruby web applications.[5] Mongrel was the first web server used by Twitter, and inspired Node.js, according to its creator Ryan Dahl.[6] Mongrel2 is the language-agnostic successor to Mongrel.

He has also written a Python mail server called Lamson,[7] on which the mailing list site LibreList is built.
