Andrew and I both started this week, but seeing as I just flew in from Texas on Sunday, I think I’m the official new guy. That’s me: Devin Naquin, Official Disqus New Guy.

I’m a software developer and in the next couple weeks, I’ll be tackling a couple of tasks here at Disqus. First, I’ll be working on Disqus’ very own automated test suite. I’ll be developing a set of tests that ensure that our current codebase is behaving as we expect. This will allow us to implement new features more quickly without unintended consequences and hopefully avoid any hiccups when we push out new features for y’all.

Second, I’ll be setting up in-house tools for mining and interpreting the data we have on how Disqus is being used. This will give us a feel for what’s happening day-to-day on Disqus. Using these statistics will help us focus our efforts in areas that would benefit our users the most. Letting us ship first the features you’d use most.

I’m excited to be here at Disqus and out of that 100 degree Texas heat. Drop me a line at devin@disqus.com.
