About the Author

Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson are product design visionaries and work-culture reformers who built one of the most influential independent software companies in the world, Basecamp.

As co-founders of Basecamp and authors of business classics like “Rework” and “It Doesn’t Have to Be Crazy at Work,” they’ve challenged the norms of overwork, venture capital dependency, and corporate bloat. Their products have served millions of users globally and inspired a new era of calm, focused work.

What sets Jason and David apart: They don’t just build software—they design companies that put people and principles first.

Companies adopting their work principles report greater employee satisfaction, reduced burnout, and 2–3x productivity improvements.

The work-culture rebels who prove that success doesn’t have to come at the expense of sanity.
