012: With Josh Kalderimis

This week we had a lot of fun talking to Josh, co-founder and CEO of Travis CI. Ghost's code is being checked multiple times a day on Travis, as well as a large number of other open source and closed source projects. Josh gave us some insight into how Travis came to be, why Travis is called Travis, what's next for it, and a boatload of technical details!
