I'm glad that they posted a "miss" - but this reads over and over like a sales pitch:

- I created a card in <X> Basecamp - Someone posted a message in Campfire - We have our own encryption - Another message posted in a different Campfire - Oh, this one uses custom categories! - Todo's in Basecamp project

I get it, 37signals dogfoods their system. What we don't normally see from other posts is that person/company X posted in slack and made a ticket in jira and then created a todo on their trello board.

Maybe I'm being too cynical...

I'm admittedly a bit of a 37signals fan boy, so take this with a grain of salt, but I also love nerding out on seeing what other companies processes/tools are.

When folks post here with various monitoring/log exploration tools as a part of a postmortem, I always find myself at least doing a quick google on each of the tools to learn more about how they can be used.

I had the same thought that this post was a low-key product show case, but it also showed how we might incorporate some of their workflow into our process. So, even if an advertisement, it was value add. Something that is increasingly rare on company blogs as more and more content just smells like SEO bait.

It's both.

I'm more concerned of how hostile their blog styling is. It's rare occasion when the Reading mode was the only option to actually read it.
