- theshrike79 3y agoBasecamp is an anomaly on pretty much every vector imaginable. They have been remote-first (remote-only?) since forever, they still use Ruby in production, have never taken VC money and they've never even tried to do a hockey stick growth unicorn hack. They're still under 40 people.

- theshrike79 3y agoThe point is that Basecamp is an unicorn, they've been special since their inception and can do stuff that a regular 40 person company could never even dare to try.
- vidarh 3y agoThere's nothing daring or special about picking a cheaper alternative and/or looking at how they're achieving what they're doing. There are huge numbers of people who will run the devops side for you on retainer - this is not a special setup nor a rare skillset.
