Jason Fried is the co-founder and President of 37signals, a
privately-held Chicago-based company committed to building the best
web-based tools possible with the least number of features necessary.
37signals' products include Basecamp, Highrise, Backpack, Campfire,
Ta-da List, and Writeboard. 37signals also developed and open-sourced
the Ruby on Rails programming framework. 37signals' products do less
than the competition - intentionally. Jason believes there's real value
and beauty in the basics. Elegance, respect for people's desire to
simply get stuff done, and honest ease of use are the hallmarks of
37signals products.
