Observing this with morbid fascination
During Friday’s all-hands meeting, Basecamp’s head of strategy denied that white supremacy existed at the company.

I agree and I like them a lot (I’ve been a fan of @heydonworks for a long time). I’m still wondering if there’s at least one level below that, e.g. something that is not even as sophisticated as default browser behavior
