Do you have any opinion on what's going on at Basecamp?

I've always thought of Basecamp as a quasi-indie company because of their approach to things (the rebuttal of the unicorn culture, the focus on quality of life, on what a company should be and so on), so I was weird to see the huge number of people that is leaving the company.

I've read this recap, which seems quite clear (maybe a little bit biased, but not that much IMO); I 've always felt that discussing politics and society in general, as well as books, music and culture, is a good thing in order to breath fresh life every now and then.

Do you have any opinion?
