Ask HN: Is Basecamp Good? (ycombinator.com)
Genuinely curious to understand from people who have used other stuff from Atlassian, Notion etc and successfully made switch to Basecamp. Or vice versa. Basecamp design and tools look very well done but somehow in the past it has not stuck much with me or various teams I have tried it with. Love DHH & Jason on X and their books tho!

The AI skeptic's guide to AI collaboration (hils.substack.com)
The people who are most skeptical of AI are often those with the highest standards for quality. They've spent years honing their craft and see their work as deeply personal. To them, AI-produced work feels empty and soulless.
Engineers who won't commit (seangoedecke.com)
Some engineers think it’s a virtue to remain non-committal in technical discussions. Should our team build a new feature in an event-driven or synchronous way? Well, it depends: there are many strong technical reasons on each side, so it’s better to keep an open mind and not come down on either side.
A multilayered approach: what's next for carton packaging? (ft.com)

The ZeroMQ Process: C4 (gitbooks.io)
When we say ZeroMQ we sometimes mean libzmq, the core library. In early 2012, we synthesized the libzmq process into a formal and reusable protocol for collaboration that we called the Collective Code Construction Contract, or C4. You can see this as a layer above the license (e.g. MPLv2). These are our rules, and I'll explain the reasoning behind each one.
