I have great respect for their business, their founders and employees, and their theories about work.
But seriously, is that article going to change the way people work or think about work? Let each man and woman decide how they'd like to apply their own resources (namely: time and money) and let 37signals worry about building products.
Great marketing, but news.yc readers are more than aware of 37signals and most have probably already made up their mind of whether or not they agree with the company's methodology.
- tokipin 18y agoi was annoyed at first too, but i think they are right about these things. and if they are able to disseminate them to the point where a few more companies take heed, they will have done something good the thing to watch out for is being selective with evidence
- petercooper 18y agoNah, I'm not tired of it. It's obvious 37signals want to "change the world" in some way, and if you appreciate that, subscribe. If not, don't. What /does/ tire me is that they set up a special "product blog" separate to SvN, but then continue to crosspost almost everything to SvN on a weekly basis anyway.. why bother?
