You forgot the part about running people with different political opinions out the door

We ask that you please don't introduce political controversy into unrelated threads, it ruins them for everyone.

Honest question, how is it unrelated? We saw it happen at Mozilla and I think it's part of the underlying divisiveness that plagues our country.

Is it 2005 again? Someone please remind me how Basecamp is relevant? It's a closed system that doesn't play nicely integrating with anything else... near as I know still doesn't have a Kanban board... or file versions... and search is still pretty terrifying.

I found the article to be an interesting look into an approach to project management at a small, successful software product shop.

You may not find Basecamp relevant, but they still offer a service that people pay for 10+ years after they started. How many of the Kanban board-based project management tools that exist today will still be around in 10 years?

It's a tech company that needs to structure its work and teams. So it might be able to speak to a technical audience about - surprise! - structuring its work and teams!

What does it have to do with the structure of work and teams?

What you said can be true and the parent still not be a good comment for HN. It's off-topic because 1) the guidelines say politics are off-topic, 2) the guidelines ask us not to introduce flamewar topics without anything new to say, and 3) this article is not about that.
