It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work by Jason Fried, David Heinemeier Hansson

3.0

Quick read and nothing too wild if you're familiar with their other books or blog posts. It comes a little closer to a manifesto than a well articulated argument. I think at this stage, they might want to try something new in their writing, perhaps interviewing those who agree or disagree with them, or collecting actual data that either supports or correlates with their thinking. If you follow their writing, you know well what their position is, and I think it's time they started making a more convincing argument in favor of their position.

There are a few times they mention when they changed course on something and it would be good to hear more details about those those changes impacted their business.
