Basecamp recently said that they want to go "apolitical" at work. I'm thinking of running this Tweet storm with my thoughts on how my twitter feed is reacting. I know I'll get a lot of flack for it - but I'm finding myself caring less and less.

Anyway I'll post it here first and we'll see if it goes to the bird app:

All of the decisions made by Basecamp are 100% correct, and they should completely ignore the Twitter peanut gallery piling on and putting false words in their mouth.

Political and social bullying in the tech industry is real, widespread, getting worse, and it’s been going on for a long time. It’s time to say ENOUGH. (2/5)

Furthermore, these large committees and working groups always end up getting taken over by a small faction intent on squashing good solutions and making themselves seem important. (3/5)

The vast - VAST - majority of moralizing in the tech industry is meant to feed the egos of the corporate and social ladder climbers, and amounts to nothing other than a conduit for making them feel powerful (4/5)

You want to make a better world through your work? Great - so do I! Make sure you’re building a quality product that does what it’s supposed to do. Advocate for fairness in promotion and hiring. Cast a wide net for recruitment and product feedback. (5/6)

But don’t assume that your religion, your ideology, and your way of thinking and approach to every issue needs to be proselytized to everyone around you at all times. That is all (6/6)
