Loved being a part of this interview. Jeff really is a programmer’s programmer 🙌🏻
The recordables pattern has been the single-most important architectural pattern we've used on both Basecamp and HEY. It's a key reason both code bases are still a joy to work on. Jeff breaks down the magic in this new podcast.

I’ve been working as a software developer for 14 years. When I joined 37signals it was _eerie_ how calm things were. It’s the single biggest level up to my productivity (and mental health!) ever. Going from Slack to this is like going from a noisy intersection to a quiet room.
Behind the Scenes: A shot from our actual Basecamp account. The "Mobile: HEY Email" project in our Basecamp account holds it all. It's a great example of how much you can do with a single project in Basecamp. Github notifications are piped into Campfire (along with real-time

It’s interesting to me when I bring anything bad about SwiftUI some people immediately assume the problem is: - you don’t understand how SwiftUI works - you haven’t tried this or that approach - you are doing it wrong Confirmation bias at its peak

Wow. I’d been following and thinking “well, Wordpress is sort of in a gray area.” This crossed a very well defined line. Unbelievable hypocrisy.
@wp_acf This has happened several times before, and in line with the guidelines you agreed to by being in the directory: https://t.co/90ni1jB7E2 Best of luck with your version. We're looking forward to making ours amazing for our users, using the best GPL code available.

You’re an iOS dev building an app for an existing website? Hotwire Native. That screen in HTML requires custom animation or gestures so you wish you could move some parts to native? Hotwire Native. Need to completely replace that HTML with beautiful SwiftUI? Hotwire Native.
The new Hotwire Native site is so good. Getting started with, say, a native Android application with the web at the center has never been easier. If you have to add a native app, this is a great way to radically lower the price of development. https://t.co/lRJ5Ox4Vcq

This captures the magic of scope-flexible, deadline-fixed cycles in Shape Up. Humans are awful at estimating fixed-scope projects, but amazing at realizing the compromises required for fixed-deadline work. It's the ultimate in agency: clear target, flexible methods.
@dhh We got to do this at Disney a few years ago. It was an emergency. We were given a fixed budget and a deadline and told, "do what you can." We delivered early and under budget, giving the users everything they needed and a few extra things they wanted. Best project ever.

This blow my fucking mind. I know this story is controversial ( https://t.co/1bBzcKRt5p) but the whole point is to get away from this over engineering bullshit when making not a NASA tier product for consumers. Some do love to create job for their job lol.

@arnavsahu341 None of us in cool software land want to believe it but: UI really doesn’t matter *that* much, esp if the software works.

Here is a reading comprehension app I built for iPhone. The free tier is mostly for demonstration and utility is in the subscription level but you can get an idea at free tier. Feedback would be great

Amanda and I had a vow renewal a month before she passed. It was easily the best night of my life. The good ppl who organized the event (for free) made a video of the event in case some of you wanted to cry. https://t.co/SYIweKZsDP

Need to double-check the federal statutes but I believe SBF's arrest means that "crypto" means "cryptography" again.
