06/22/2020, 4:35 PMQuite the roller-coaster! It makes sense that Basecamp/Hey would sell this as a 'change of heart' on Apple's end, but Apple made pretty much no concession on their original stand through the entire episode. In fact, the ultimate route to resolution was pretty much based on Apple's suggestion to Basecamp/Hey.

In ReWork, DHH & co have spoken about how 'picking a fight' is a great way to get people to take notice of you/your work. They knew what they were doing with this entire thing. 🙏
