alonetone gets development help!

I'm happy to introduce you to someone who has been making me smile a lot over the last week:

About two weeks ago he sent me an email about helping out with alonetone programming.

I've received a handful of these emails, but nothing had come from it so far. Tien was different from the start. Before I even got the chance to respond, he already had invested hours into programming for alonetone. He was unafraid to jump in and get the work done. He didn't need my help. He offered suggestions and then implemented them. He seems to be in love with making the code pretty and more maintainable (a huge benefit for alonetone in the long run) and knows his code.

Notably, he has also already made big changes (in the background) to alonetone that make it much easier for other interested programmers to check out the alonetone code and get involved.

Just take a look at the alonetone code history for the last few days. Sure, you might not understand what exactly is going on there, but one thing is clear: He is all over it.

Tien hails from Singapore and programs Ruby and Rails for a living. He keeps a blog about his programming insight and experiences.

It means a lot to me to introduce him to the musicians here. His work will be showing up shortly - in a matter of days he has fixed a number of outstanding buglets and rough corners and I can't wait to get his changes live.

Wow!, thank you Tien Dung, I can see your enthusiasm even in the activity posts on the programming page. I look forward to to feeling and seeing your work, although I appreciate much of it will be invisible to me partly because when things work we often don't notice. Thanks for your invisible hands.

I wrote on my blog that:

"Will alonetone be very successful or be failure? I don't care much. The point is that Sudara have been trying very hard to make his dream come true. And he need help, need to be understood, and to be inspired by other people.

I will do more work on back-end so Sudara have time to improve the design, refine the direction of alonetone and to create great songs."

It's my pleasure to work with Sudara and Samo to improve alonetone and listen to great music from alonetone musicians.
