More noise, less signal

Posted by Jaan on May 4 Add your comment

Over the past month or two I’ve been getting less and less interested in following Signal vs. Noise. Yes I know, that’s like the craziest thing one can say! How dare I? ;-)

When I started reading it years ago it was a fresh, invigorating blog with relevant and inspiring posts. Well written, well timed and always worth my time.

Lately I’m hearing more and more noise and much less signal - so to speak. I am detecting a level of holier than thou attitude that I have never seen before, both in posts and in replies to people’s comments. The line between believing in something and being arrogant is razor thin and IMHO that line is being crossed to often.

What happened? Maybe it’s me, maybe I just moved on. Maybe the 37Sigs chaps changed. Something changed. Not necessarily for the worse as far as Jason & Co are concerned.

Me, I’ll just keep using Basecamp and the other 37Sig products, and read less of the blog. The apps still rock, more or less.
