Last year, 37signals employees shared the "pyramid of hate" in a work chat in response to seeing a list of "funny Asian names" of customers. Upper management responded by banning discussion of politics at work (I presume "politics" means "anything that creates a sense of social responsibility beyond investor value"). Its handling of the situation [caused a third of its employees to resign](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/30/technology/basecamp-politics-ban-resignations.html).

However, I don't think this policy isn't in effect anymore: 37signals leadership is using a company blog to [rail against diversity and inclusion](https://world.hey.com/dhh/the-waning-days-of-dei-s-dominance-9a5b656c), and then [double down after criticism](https://world.hey.com/dhh/we-must-say-no-to-these-people-e0fb301c). Is the "no politics" rule lifted, is upper management exempt, or does "no politics" only refer to politics that challenges David Heinemeier Hansson to change his behavior? I look forward to hearing a clarification on this rule.

37signals is known for creating Basecamp, Hey.com (an email service with bespoke email filters that are somehow incompatible with IMAP), and for creating Ruby on Rails. It appears to remain a key member of the Rails Foundation. For now. 37signals is known for creating Basecamp, Hey.com (an email service with bespoke email filters that are somehow incompatible with IMAP), and for creating Ruby on Rails.
