“In software design, it's all about making a guess, trying it, and then...” — Stewart Butterfield Quote

“In software design, it's all about making a guess, trying it, and then learning from the experience.”

“I was born in a little town called Lund in British Columbia. It's like a fishing village. My parents were hippies. They tried to live off the land, so I grew up in a log cabin, and we didn't get running water until I was 4. The next year, we got electricity. Then we moved to the city, Victoria, British Columbia, so I could go to school.”

“I think email's going to be around for, like, another 10,000 years. It's a great way to cross organizational boundaries.”

“As I started college, I started to build software products that I could sell to people over the Web.”

“When we launched the first version of Basecamp in 2004, we decided to build software for small companies just like us.”

“Whatever way that we have in our head that we expect people to use a software, they'll find other interesting ways to use it that we didn't expect.”
