I'm happy to introduce you to someone who has been making me smile a lot over the last week: His name is [Tien Dung](http://alonetone.com/tiendung/bio). 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](http://github.com/sudara/alonetone) and get involved. Just [take a look at the alonetone code history](http://github.com/tiendung/alonetone/commits/master) 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](http://free-and-happy.blogspot.com/). 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. <p>I'm happy to introduce you to someone who has been making me smile a lot over the last week:</p> <p>His name is <a href="http://alonetone.com/tiendung/bio">Tien Dung</a>.</p> <p>About two weeks ago he sent me an email about helping out with alonetone programming.</p> <p>I've received a handful of these emails, but nothing had come from it so far.
