it's great to see more tech companies abandoning whiteboarding interviews. but you know what i'd really love to see? more companies adding a diversity + inclusion interview to their hiring practices.

The heroic work that @kikiaards and her support team is doing to deliver fast answers to new HEY customers is incredible. We answered THOUSANDS of emails yesterday, and average first response was below 2 hours. Some just in minutes. So proud ✌️❤️

I worry that this seismic change to our constitution is not being given the attention it urgently warrants. So I'll say again:

Marking 13 years with @basecamp and dadgum proud of it. Half my career now. It's fulfilling work. All remote, with an abiding love for the web, and Ruby to the core. But these are lovely cherries on top—
