Great analogy from Jason Fried on the latest REWORK. 37signals.com/podcast/dare-t… With software, it's not obvious when it's too much — you can't see the boundaries. So you keep adding and expanding, more and more. But your users feel it.

Curious what an actual pitch in Shape Up looks like and how it compares to what ships?

I love saxophone/drum duos and this set by James Brandon Lewis and Chad Taylor is fantastic. Grateful to BIMHUIS for recording and sharing so many great shows. youtube.com/watch?v=Lpmojm…

We just got back from our company meet-up in Montréal. It was a great time, and we took a bunch of photos. When people started posting and browsing all the photos in Basecamp, it sparked an idea. 5 minutes later, a new feature was live. world.hey.com/bb/a-5-minute-…

I voted early and by mail. As a new resident of Massachusetts, I'm grateful for how effortless they make it. 5 minutes to request a ballot, 5 minutes to complete it and drop it in the mail. Proud to cast my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.💙

Harrison Ford: When dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms saying ‘For God's sake, don't do this again,’ you have to pay attention. They're telling us something important. I've got one vote, same as anyone else, and I'm going to use it to move

I wonder if we're the only people trying to decide between the new James Carville documentary and the new James Acaster standup set tonight.

Bandcamp has become one of my favorite sources for new jazz, especially Dave Sumner's monthly reviews. Excited to dive into the best of the year. daily.bandcamp.com/best-of-2024/t…

Impatient world.hey.com/bb/impatient-1… Thoughts on shipping more ideas in the new year, inspired by a quote from Jonny Greenwood: "I’m the most impatient of everybody in Radiohead. I’ve always said I’d much rather the records were 90 percent as good, but come out twice as often."

Since you probably don't have much else going on today, here's a look at my first 150 days in Northampton after 15 years in Austin. Photos included! bb.place/150-days-in-no…

How I found my way into jazz after years of distant appreciation, featuring two blogs, a Finish jazz magazine, a concert in New Orleans ❤️, and a jazz community in Western Massachusetts modeled after farm shares. bb.place/finding-my-way…

A new edition of Shape Up is coming in 2025! Here's what planted the seeds for another version six years later. world.hey.com/bb/shape-up-se… It's a WIP, so if you have questions or have run into friction, I'd love to hear about it. We want to help as many different teams as possible.

Many ideas I start shaping never turn into pitches, and many pitches that reach the betting table, never get built. You can’t know where shaping will take you. Embrace that, and let it surprise you. world.hey.com/bb/let-shaping…

Rodrigo Amado is an incredible jazz artist and the person behind many of my favorite albums. I hope I have a chance to see him perform one day. This overview of his career so far from bandcamp is terrific. daily.bandcamp.com/lists/rodrigo-…

We had a fun call looking at a new HEY feature. Here's the full pitch: public.3.basecamp.com/p/PaLSJeF4hQqa… In the video, you'll see the core is there, but things have been added (upcoming video calls) and others changed. The pitch is the starting point and destination, not the route.

This is a profound opinion written by a Reagan-appointed judge. Please take the time to read it. "We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

New isn't a luxury world.hey.com/bb/new-isn-t-a… When you work on the same product and codebase indefinitely, it’s hard to avoid a certain kind of settling. Building a new product is worth it even when you're small and don't think you have the capacity.

Here's the first look at Fizzy, the new product we're building. It's already powerful and a joy to use, and there's still more to come. x.com/jasonfried/sta…

God bless Cory Booker.

As I head to a No Kings rally this morning with friends and neighbors, I wanted to share my thoughts on this moment. The end of this story isn't written bb.place/the-end-of-thi…
