Do as I say, not as I do.

Ego has this astonishing effect of completely bending[1] the space-time-reality fabric of the universe.

1. Or ripping it apart, depending on how well off you've become and how many sports cars you've bought.

37signals does not reap millions of dollars of VC investment to staff up huge numbers of people while running their business in the red. But a reader of your comment would be left to wonder whether they do, because you wrote it carelessly.

I can't speak for Jason or comment on his involvement on the board of Groupon, but he does do as he says within 37signals.

Which is mighty fine.

I'f I'm telling you to be good and I'm bad, them I'm a hypocrite.

That doesn't mean that my advice is bad, or that you shouldn't follow it.

Follow an advice (or not) by the intrinsic value of it, not by who the one giving it is or what he does.
