DHH is almost always wrong
For the record, and this will not make me many friends, but I agree with Basecamp's decision a year ago to ban political discourse at work. I've always, as both an employee and a business owner, believed that work belongs to the employer. I do the job and I get paid a salary. That's the entirety of our agreement. People hate hearing that because they want to believe that Company=Bad, Employee=Good but nope. But I disagree with nearly everything else DHH says.
