Simplicity isn’t easy. It’s refined.

"I don't have sales targets, revenue targets, user targets. Don't have any of these things. We just do the best work we can.

A target shouldn't make me do better work. I should do better work because of the pride I take in the work that I do, and the seriousness in which I take the work that I do, and the enjoyment in the work that I do.

I'm going to do the best I can. That's what I do. That's all I can do. That's all I should be doing, and I don't need something to try to tell me that I could do better had I aimed for some target.

The target is the work I'm doing now. That's the best I can do."

For me, the goal of “investing” has always been simple: to allocate resources (e.g. money, time, energy) to improve quality of life. This is a personal definition, as yours likely will be.

Some words are so overused as to have become meaningless. If you find yourself using nebulous terms like “success,” “happiness,” or “investing,” it pays to explicitly define them or stop using them. “What would it look like if I had (or won at) ___ ?” helps.

Life favors the specific ask and punishes the vague wish.

Basecamp turns 22 today! It's amazing how durable the original mission statement has been: Project management is primarily about communication. Ensuring the ball isn't dropped, that the right people are kept in the loop, and that you have a great bird's eye sense of what's going on inside a team.

Now that mission no longer just include teams of people, but teams of agents too. We've been introducing multiple agents into our own Basecamp projects already, letting them use the human affordances that are already there, and preparing to release the temporary crutches needed to make things even easier until the agents get faster (new official CLI will drop shortly!).

It's an incredibly exciting time to be making software. Nobody knows what things are going to look like next year, let alone next month. So within all that uncertainty, it's great to still be in business, still doing great, still learning, still sharing, still building Basecamp.

A huge thanks to all our customers who've made that possible for well over two decades now. The millions of people who've used Basecamp to get things done. Everyone who've paid for Basecamp has voted for more Rails, more Hotwire, more Kamal, more Fizzy, more open source of all shapes and sizes, and more independent software making.

@markminervini ‘Survival of the fittest’ doesn’t mean the strongest—it means the best adapted. Fun fact: the phrase was coined by Herbert Spencer in 1864 (Principles of Biology) as an alternative to Darwin’s ‘natural selection.’
