"Rather than go through an extensive, artificial 12-month performance analysis process to statistically determine how someone’s doing at the end of that crucial first year, we blow all that abstract blurriness away with one simple clarifying question." https://world.hey.com/jason/on-hiring-rehiring-and-one-question-to-answer-them-all-5db97bcb

We just shipped a new accessibility-friendly date picker in Basecamp. For most people, this is just slightly nicer, making it easier to pick a different year, etc. But for our blind customers, it's a massive level up. Here's a testimonial from one such user: "This will make such a big difference to my day-to-day job because multiple times a day I have to say to people, "Can you put the date in there for me?" because I can't put it in. So, it must be about 4 or 5 times a day I have to ask somebody to input a date into Basecamp for me. And now, I won't have to, which will be a huge weight off my mind. I’m sure they will be glad, but they don't have to do it for me. It will just also mean that I can stop feeling like I'm being a burden to my colleagues. So yeah, thank you very much. That will make a huge, huge difference to what I can do on a daily basis. So, thank you very much.  Keep doing your good work. It's making a huge difference to lots of people. And I don't think you always get to hear about that as often as you should. So yeah, thank you very much." ✌️❤️ https://basecamp.com

In defense of the office

You're never getting me back into an office. I credit much of my career to escaping that place in the early 2000s. It wasn't until I found t
