As a result of the recent changes at Basecamp, today is my last day at the company. I joined over 15 years ago as a junior programmer and I’ve been involved with nearly every product launch there since 2006.
At Basecamp, I helped bring open-source projects like Prototype, Sprockets, Pow, rbenv, ruby-build, Turbolinks, xip․io, Trix, Stimulus, Action Text, Turbo, and Hotwire into the world. This is my life’s work—the output of my entire career—and I’m proud to have built it in public.
Effective immediately, I will make no further updates to, nor releases of, any of the aforementioned open-source software I worked on at Basecamp. This is entirely my decision. Thank you for understanding.
