A comment on Work Less, Give Your Customers Less... and Succeed Like 37Signals.

For the record, we don't believe our way is the only way and we've never made that suggestion. There are a lot of ways to do a lot of things. There are lots of ways to be successful. We just share our way.

No one is shoving anything down anyones throat. There's a lot of information available. A lot of different points of view. It's entirely your choice what you pay attention to, who you listen to, and what you care about.

Absorb a lot from a lot of sources. Take whatever value you find and leave the rest behind. Your mileage will vary. We hope everyone finds their own success.

The title of your book is "getting real." Doesn't that directly imply someone else is not "real?" 37Signals has very strong opinions about how things ought to be done, and evangelizes them. So far it's worked brilliantly. If you didn't think that your way was a huge improvement, why would you have bothered to put all the work into Rails, Basecamp, etc?

Don't back down just because people (myself included) rag on you sometimes!

Well said, and see my reply below (my tone was a little harsh)
