The decline of Europe is not inevitable, despite how much Americans love to joke/proclaim that the continent is doomed to become an open-air museum. Sure, it's possible that things have to get worse before they get better, but believing that "it's over" is just loser talk. It's never over, but the old world also won't recover by itself...
I used to follow 37signals and they were very much not a typical tech company at the time.
They never did fremium data collector bullshit, they just sold basecamp and their other app subscriptions. They were an early saas take that for what you will.
In those days 37signals ran as what is now called a lifestyle startup and had only a few employees spread across the country who would meet up to work together as few weeks out of the year.
This is all from memory though, and I stopped following them and switched to node or ruby + Sinatra around the mid 2010s though, so I’m not sure what has happened since, but this blog post is batshit conservative bullshit. Guess it’s time to trash my old Rails books with the Harry Potter ones.
