The Pradipta 416: Are you one of the Chosen Few?

On July 17th, 2008 a spammer/recruiter named Pradipta/Max Archie accidentally sent an email to 416 developers titled "Ruby on Rails position...". Unfortunately he forgot to use the BCC feature and a conversation ensued that will go down in internet history. Geoff Lane, myShoggoth, and tail -f recount the events in detail.

This site has been built to commemorate those amazing 416 developers who woke one morning to find an unforgettable email from our wonderful friend, Pradipta or Max Archie.

We won’t save your email, this is just to make sure that you are one of the true 416
