Dana Contreras Twitter Manager
What do you do? Engineering manager at Twitter. I used to be a real engineer here who wrote code and stuff. Now most of my hands-on programming is on the side. At the moment I'm into the Arduino platform.
When did you start using BBEdit? Oh gosh. I have no idea -- forever ago! Definitely pre-OS X, anyway. Maybe the System 6 or 7 days?
What do you make? How does BBEdit help? My team builds and maintains Twitter's API and infrastructure. BBEdit gives me the best tools and the least hassle for working on our Rails stack. It's a rare combination of fast and full-featured.

What's your favorite project that BBEdit has helped bring to life? The Twitter API is certainly the biggest and most well-known, but my personal favorite project that I built with BBEdit is SkyNav, an aeronautical navigation app that I wrote for Palm OS years ago.
Which feature is your favorite? My all-time favorite BBEdit feature is its find-and-replace panel. It's flexible, the regex support is awesome, the multi-file search is great, and most importantly it's fast as hell. For me, good search is a must in any editor, and BBEdit's really stands out.
