Our development team is spread out. That’s the price of a telecommuting company.

We have some amazing developers that use creative ways to stay in contact – IM (of course), a Jabber chat room, Skype, a wiki… all of these tools have helped immensely.

Some of our developers have been trying out an editor for OSX called SubEthaEdit from CodingMonkeys. They seem to like it. It lets you collaboratively edit a document together in a developer-centric interface.

I think it might be decent for code reviews, so I’m willing to give it a shot. Personally, I’m addicted to method completion popups, so I don’t think I want to code with it full time. But reviews are for looking, commenting, and sometimes quick changes. So it could be useful for that.

The reason I’m posting is because MacZOT and TheCodingMonkeys will award $105,000 in Mac software by discounting SubEthaEdit based on qualifying blog posts.

Basically it comes down to if enough bloggers blog about it, all of us get SubEthaEdit for free. I’m running a startup, so free is good.

Go over to BLOGZOT 2.0 on MacZOT.com and read the rules about blogging. Then blog it if you want a copy.

Let me know what you think about it when you use it too.
