One of the projects I'm most proud of at Basecamp is one I didn't even build myself ... it was the strategic work behind the feature that shipped as "card table." It's really cool to see it getting so much use via AI automation now.

Scrum made sense at companies/teams that shipped a new version of their product every 2-3 months (or less frequent) As soon as a team got to shipping daily or had CD: they only held teams back Most startups + Big Tech moved on a decade+ ago, legacy companies remained only Quoting @forgebitz it's funny how scrum masters completely disappeared and no one really cared startups Related

With the latest external hack of OpenAI via Claude, closed models continue to be the tip of the iceberg on AI risks, not open models. They have been 1) much easier to get started with, 2) more capable & 3) shipped with leaky safeguards. Finetuning open models to specific attacks is harder. Anthropic OpenAI Related

Delicious meta thought from this morning: The table pounding from the AI-skeptical software engineers, shouting "they can't build proper, scalable, performant programs!", sounds especially thin when you consider that right now nearly everyone is looking for where this is going and no one knows yet. Building something "proper" and "scalable" and "performant" before you have PMF is a tricky thing to pull off (there's exceptions, of course, where PMF comes from being one of the three) and now it seems like most companies are looking for PMF every 3 months.

Claude Code showed that AI could do real work, not just answer questions. Developers hand Claude a feature, come back to shipped code. That's where much of the industry's serious engineering runs now. Cowork proved knowledge workers could do the same: hand Claude the brief, come back to finished files. Today, chat and Cowork start merging into one Claude. The direction: one Claude that carries context across everything you're working on, wherever you are. Simple enough for everyone to access Claude's full capabilities.

A really lovely GRID VIEW is coming to Basecamp 5 shortly. We had a grid view in 4, but it wasn't any good and I didn't want to drag it into 5. Had we done that, we'd have called it done and never revisited. By intentionally leaving it out, we allowed pressure to build to bring it back. And with no legacy to battle or revamp, we were able to return to the drawing board and make something so much better, from scratch. Coming to a Basecamp near you. Soon. Related

Goodbye per-seat pricing. Per-user pricing has always rubbed me the wrong way. And in this agentic age, it feels downright antique. For the vast majority of the time Basecamp has been on offer, we never charged per-user. A few years ago we experimented with one pay-per-user plan, and that experiment just came to an end. And it couldn’t come at a better time. With the Basecamp CLI (and soon MCP, too), you can bring your agents to Basecamp as users too. Charging you for individual agents feels just as wrong as charging you for individual people. So today we have brand new pricing plans with NO… basecamp.com

CloudBees surveyed 200+ enterprise technology leaders this year. 92% said they were confident their AI-generated code was production-ready before it shipped. Then after it shipped, 81% of those same people reported a rise in production issues. Confidence in AI output is now a measurable risk factor. A board can put the 92% "confidence in AI generated code" against the 81% "production issue rate" and really understand what is going on. Is it a bunch of unregulated tokenmaxxing? Or is there a plan and is it working? The report itself says that the bottleneck has moved from writing code to gover… bit.ly
