In an attempt to keep things constructive, I would prefer if their home page tested out other hero shots than what they've had for ages now:

> https://basecamp.com/

At one point, there was even a post about how "real" photos A/B tested better than stock photos.

If you're running userscript, here's the code you can use:

    .joy figure img{
        visibility: hidden;
    }
    
    .joy blockquote{
        display: none;
    }
    
    .joy figure{
        max-width: 600px;
        height: 630px;
    }
    
    .joy {
        background: url('https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/1394145_10151974119134120_973425284_n.jpg') bottom no-    repeat;
        background-size: auto 100%;
        max-width: 900px !important;
        width: 55% !important;
        left: 2% !important;
    }

Oh wow, been so long since I've seen the actual homepage I didn't even know Joy was there. You may just want to bookmark https://launchpad.37signals.com/ and you'll never have to see that page again.
