nuk 's review for:
It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work
by Jason Fried, David Heinemeier Hansson
Once again a very quick, easy and smooth read from the folks at Basecamp.
It's very hard for me to express an impartial opinion, since I have very strong alignments with their view of how to build a company culture-wise.
Said that this book left me with a very different feeling than when I've read Remote.
First, this books seems much more personal to Basecamp than the others. I'd estimate 1/3 of it seems to be very specific for their reality with very little regard of looking outward. These are the parts that I'm still digesting since I seem to either not agree or not to see how to apply to other contexts.
Secondly, unlike the other books, this one brings very little novelty from what you could follow from the svn blog and the authors online. This is not bad per se, but usually, they've put more effort to bring new things to light and seems they've put less effort into that.
At last, I think it's a good book full of great ideas. Work should be a healthy and enjoyable part of life and there's a lot of wisdom to take from it.
