Basecamp at 22 Years and Adding Agents to Projects

Basecamp turns 22 today! It's amazing how durable the original mission statement has been: Project management is primarily about communication. Ensuring the ball isn't dropped, that the right people are kept in the loop, and that you have a great bird's eye sense of what's going on inside a team. Now that mission no longer just include teams of people, but teams of agents too. We've been introducing multiple agents into our own Basecamp projects already, letting them use the human affordances that are already there, and preparing to release the temporary crutches needed to make things even easier until the agents get faster (new official CLI will drop shortly!). It's an incredibly exciting time to be making software. Nobody knows what things are going to look like next year, let alone next month. So within all that uncertainty, it's great to still be in business, still doing great, still learning, still sharing, still building Basecamp. A huge thanks to all our customers who've made that possible for well over two decades now. The millions of people who've used Basecamp to get things done. Everyone who've paid for Basecamp has voted for more Rails, more Hotwire, more Kamal, more Fizzy, more open source of all shapes and sizes, and more independent software making. https://signalvnoise.com/archives/000542
