That’s two people I’ve seen resign from basecamp. Is this the start of a trend ?

    Looks like they went full Amazon, by forbidding developers to work in OSS side projects. I cannot really believe it's that no politics talk only: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26944192 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26944192 Edit: I was wrong. Politics destroyed them, not some crazy policies. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26963708 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26963708

      There's no way that Basecamp forbade developers from working on Rails related side projects. A good chunk of what Sam Stephenson has worked on recently has been instrumental to launching Hey, and Basecamp has long benefited from their association with Rails and influence over it.

        True. Strange outrage over some non-controversial issues. So it must be something internally they are super unhappy about.

        True but all of those projects were work projects.
