It's crazy. Sometimes it feels that 37signals just shouldn't still be in business with how they do things. This makes it sound like they take the Cosmo Kramer school of business management, "this price just FEELS right."
But it's been wildly successful for them. I guess the point here is that all the kinds of management training you see in traditional companies pales in comparison to having smart people with great intuition running the show.
- pchristensen 18y agoTheir "intuition" and the "feels right" works because they design for people like themselves. They can put themselves in their customers' shoes and they actually fit! Sort of like how Jobs only would release a product he'd enjoy using. If the same 37s people made some other product like break pads or investment banking advice, their cavalier attitude would cause them to fail.
- swilliams 18y agoGood point, I should have added that its smart people with good intuition and a passion for what they do.
