We'd like to welcome four new robots to the [thoughtbot
team](https://thoughtbot.com/about/people)

[Angelo Simeoni](https://thoughtbot.com/about/people#asimeoni) - Angelo has
the job that I secretly wish I could have: semantic markup samurai.  He'll be
summarizing your tables and declaring your doctypes in a browser near you any
day now.

[Kevin Burg](https://thoughtbot.com/about/people#kburg) - Kevin was on the
winning rails rumble team, and keeps wearing this
[belt](https://thoughtbot.com/blog/lets-get-ready-to-rumble) around the New
York City office to prove a point.  We're not sure what the point is yet, but
it's bound to be profound once it's identified.

[Mike Burns](https://thoughtbot.com/about/people#mburns) - Mike's cousin is
Nick Burns, your company's computer guy.  Unlike Nick, Mike won't fix your
printer, but he will fix your application's domain model.

[Joe Ferris](https://thoughtbot.com/about/people#jferris) - Joe was lost in a
sea of projects, unable to breathe the sweet air of agile development.  Now he's
sailing a fancy <abbr title="Model View Controller">MVC</abbr> yacht across the
seven seas.

So welcome aboard to all four!
