The Economist reviews It Doesn't Have To Be Crazy At Work: "Their book is funny, well-written and iconoclastic and by far the best thing on management published this year"

As I mentioned in another thread today, Google really shouldn’t go under “search engine”, they’re an “ad engine”. Like replacing your encyclopedia with a Walmart catalogue.https://twitter.com/alefranz/status/1194399786692161536 …
on mobile you cannot even see what you are searching for

@jasonfried my daughter’s gymnastics team’s uses Basecamp - she’s too young for a phone but already uses this great tool!

Jason raised our frustrations months ago. But that doesn't really change anything. Venture capital ethics mesh perfectly with Google monopoly ethics. Both will have more money and more time than anyone in small tech could ever hope to match.https://twitter.com/jasonfried/status/1168986962704982016 …

And Google of course does nothing. We filed for trademark protection three months ago, which they granted (so ads can't use our TM in their ad text), but they simply refuse to enforce their own policy. Of course. Because they make more money doing nothing!

Especially from company that's on that growth-uber-alles path with no need to turn a profit. I mean when you've raised over $200,000,000, you're not exactly bound by the same laws of business as the rest of us.pic.twitter.com/vQcKMdahmH

This is frustrating. We'd so much rather spend our money providing Basecamp for free for personal use than pay the Google tax to defend against predatory, VC-boosted ads squatting on our brand. *sigh*pic.twitter.com/X0QsY9sKIY

Also a special shout out to Jane Yang who joined us as our new data analyst in January. It was her analysis that made us comfortable taking this leap of faith. Thank you, Jane

I've been using Basecamp for years as a freelancer and then as an agency owner, and there's nothing else I would consider using for project management. Having a free option available for freelancers, side projects, and personal projects is huge.https://twitter.com/jasonfried/status/1194338348497821701 …

Jamie and I used Basecamp to build our dream house. I don’t even understand how construction works without a tool like this

We don’t make a big deal out of this, so it’s our fault if you don’t know, but lots of tools integrate directly with Basecamp. Here’s a list —> https://basecamp.com/extras

So I guess all I ask is that if you like this, suggest telling a friend who might be able to use the paid version at their company

If we break our back giving too much away for free, then at least it will have gone to a good cause! The world desperately needs alternatives to Big Tech and VC-funded unicorns. It’s not a level playing field, but where still in the game, twenty years after starting

We’ve had a free plan in the past, but it was always way more limited than our new Basecamp Personal. But not everyone can afford our business plans, and it’s a tragedy if they’re forced to trade their privacy with Big Tech tools. So taking a leap!

Giving away a full, generous version of our software is kinda scary for a small tech company like ours. We don’t have venture capital to burn on the alter of growth, and there are no huge enterprise deals to subsidize either

This is amazing news! Basecamp (v3) has been excellent for a long time now but I hesitated to recommend it to most people I know because it was just too expensive. If you need to group communicate, track progress, share files, and generally stay on the same page, this is legit:https://twitter.com/jasonfried/status/1194338348497821701 …

(The piece unfortunately goes on to justify much of this squeeze and Google's monopoly by blaming customers for being too easily captured, but hey, the descriptive analysis is good!)

We need to stop calling Google a "search engine" and start calling them an "ad engine". This exposé of where organic results for travel fits in five scrolls below the fold is

Note that Uber has been a known dumpster fire for years and years. But there's apparently nothing a multi-billion dollar valuation can't wash off.https://medium.com/@dhh/deleting-uber-is-the-least-you-can-do-30c0601103ea …

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. This is the same company that had execs obtain medical records of a Uber rape victim to discredit her. But hey, "mistakes", right?
