Andrew Stellman，虽然是一个土生土长的纽约人，却曾两次居住在匹兹堡。第一次是从卡耐基梅隆计算机科学学院毕业，第二次则是他和Jenny开始着手开展他们的咨询业务，并为O’Reilly写他们的第一本书。
搬回故乡后，他在大学毕业后的第一份工作是在百代唱片公司EMI-Capitol Records做一名程序员——这不无道理，因为他曾在LaGuardia音乐艺术和表演艺术学校学习大提琴和爵士乐吉它。他和Jenny的第一次共事就是在这家财务软件公司，在那里他管理着一个程序员团队，所以独享特权，可以与一些了不起的程序员共事多年，并很高兴地从他们那里学到不少东西。
平常不写书时，Andrew会忙于写一些没用（但有趣）的软件，玩音乐（不过，更多的时间是打电子游戏），学中国的太极拳和日本的合气道。他有一个女朋友Lisa，还养着一只波美拉尼亚种小狗。

Jennifer Greene and Andrew Stellman have been building software together since 1998.

Jennifer Greene在大学里学的是哲学，不过，与这个领域中的所有人一样，光凭哲学没办法找到工作。幸运的是，她是一位优秀的软件测试人员，所以最早在一个网上服务公司从事这个工作，这也是她第一次切实感觉到项目管理的意义。
她于1998年移居到纽约，在一家财务软件公司做软件测试工作。她在新成立的一家很棒的公司管理着一个测试人员团队（这家公司主要研究人工智能和自然语言处理）。
在那之后，她的足迹遍布世界各地，曾与不同的软件开发团队共事，并且构建了很多相当不错的项目。
她喜欢旅游、看好莱坞电影、看漫画书。她经常把她的Xbox弄坏，等着修理。她喜欢喝很多碳酸饮料，另外还有一个机灵的小狗陪伴左右。
