"The Best People to Hire Are Not in San Francisco"

Watch the full documentary here 👉 gumroad.com/l/...
Last week, I met David Heinemeier Hansson (aka @DHH) in Chicago. He is the creator of Ruby on Rails and the co-founder of Basecamp, a software-as-a-service company. Basecamp, formerly known as 37signals is one of the pioneering remote companies. It's a bootstrapped company that was grown with hardly any outside investment.
David is also an author and together with his co-founder Jason Fried has written a book on remote work called "Remote". I went to visit him in their office in Chicago to ask him about his experiences with remote work.

What he said made a lot of sense. Good video.

I really want that kind of job

[@rhblanchfield6674]

I've been working remotely since June and I wouldn't do it any other way. I worked for a startup in SF for the last three years and I got tired of commuting and sitting in a box even though my job could be done from anywhere.

[@jacquelinex-5002]

@4:10 he nailed it. Oh how I would hash over and daydream endlessly as my former employer. I couldn't have it my way so I struck out on my own and will never go back to the old school commute/boxcube/247Interruptions.

Great insights.

[@jonghakun]

I love it! But unfortunately, I've never met the people to agree with remote working.

[@hieroglyph321]

Even worse. It's ok for some not others. My boss remote works. Doesn't let his staff remote work. I'm secretly looking for a new job.

[@Phase3]

Great interview!

nobody in Africa ...

That's actually the case of a lots of business "around the world" and also a lot of artists on "world tour"...
