No wonder their website is still "under construction". Who funds these kind of narcissistic idiots?
Wow...can easily call out @dhh for "unsuccessful" attempts at various endeavors, but fails to recognize his impact on the very industry this guy works in? Basecamp, being around since 1999 with 50 ish employees and contributed heavily to the remote work culture. 17 years profitable is nothing to sneeze at either.
I'd call a guy who can even try to be a race car driver in his spare time immensely successful.
Looking at his profile is fucking terrifying of the people who agree with him
> @larbysamirouche is clever to post a job ad that weeds out lazy developers, and genius to get them to tweet it out. I’ve hired devs who voluntarily work 60+ hrs bc that’s what they truly enjoy doing. They get paid for their work, and I wish I had more employees like them!
Inferring from his LinkedIn, his company appear to be a web marketing/advertising services company for tech-unsavvy clients, not an investor funded startup. He works in the "shady used car sales" corner of the tech biz.
Unless I'm misreading, he placed first-in-class at Le Mans a few years ago. SUre, his racing career never _took off_, but I wouldn't call that any sort of failure.
Then I read the CEOs reply after being called out for it on Twitter: https://twitter.com/larbysamirouche/status/10314168074526351... If you don't want to look at twitter:
