What people on Hacker News said
Nice, albeit small book regarding how the creators of rails manage their company. So very nice insight.
Very wise and intelligent advice about startups, intelligent and witty, must read.
The book is written in such a way that, to me, the message will adapt and be meaningful regardless of the current situation.
After also reading others' bad experiences throughout the year, now I'm wondering if my experiences were perhaps representative of the industry as a whole.
If you're a fan of 37 Signals and/or DHH, this is a succinct and enjoyable read about their principles on building and running a business.
