MIKAMAI, most innovative Italian company in 2009?
Posted by Giovanni Intini | Filed under Business, mikamai
I don’t usually like to post out of pride, but it’s always a nice feeling when your hard work is recognized by other people.
In this case Buongiorno’s David Casalini, in an interview with nextinnovation.it when asked
If you could give the 2009 Prize for Most Innovative Italian Company, you would give it to …? And why?
he replied
[...] I really like a Milano based company, Mikamai, a small team but very good, with lots of ideas, focused on people and they have a tech know-how that is frighteningly good.
Thanks, David!
The importance of being up-to-date
Posted by Giovanni Intini | Filed under Business, Rails, Ruby on Rails, mikamai
Since I started working in the web development business the release of Rails 3 has been the first time I really felt I had to understand what was going on because otherwise I would be left behind.
There were simpler times where just reading the feeds of the most important blogs allowed me to be up-to-date, but either I’m getting old or the information has become too fractioned, because this time the only reason for me (and everyone in MIKAMAI) to get started with Rails 3 was to resume a practice that unfortunately we left behind in the past year: the internal presentations.
Starting last thursday, and hopefully never stopping, thursday afternoons aren’t about working for others, but are about everyone sharing his knoweledge with the others.
Last thursday was obviously all about Rails 3, so a couple of us connected their macs to the big screen and demoed new features of Rails 3.
It was nice, interesting questions were asked during the demos, and the overall mood was pretty good. I look forward to the next session.

Hack Up 2009 – First meeting
Posted by Giovanni Intini | Filed under mikamai
Hack Up is a recurring event originally born in Mikamai, but now it has its own life.
Last week a Hack Up meeting was held in Mikamai’s offices in Milano, and it was a huge success.
We have taken the time to use Altomic to embed a short video presentation of all the Hackers in our blog.
The result was simply stunning.
