“I don’t see a single standout among the folks leaving” (emphasis mine)

Considering that those folks include one of the Rails core contributors, the Head of Design, and the Head of Marketing, either:

A) you’re mistaken in your read

B) you’re not mistaken, and Basecamp made some massive hiring and staffing flaws including but not limited to who they put in leadership positions

I’m not saying which is which, just pointing out the limited possibilities.

Fair point on Rails core contrib.

I was definitely wrong on that.

LOL I take it you’re not a fan of design or marketing by this response? ;)

(Just having fun btw and not meaning to insult/offend)

[JPKab]

Indeed.

I respect designers, but they can go too far (jony I've with the obsession with thinness). Basecamps business isn't at risk from that change.

Marketing: No comment.
