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.
37signals weblog, Signal vs. Noise, is read by over 100,000 people every day.
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.
David Heinemeier Hansson is the cofounder of Basecamp and NYT bestselling coauthor of REWORK and REMOTE. He's also the creator of the software toolkit Ruby on Rails, which has been used to launch and power Twitter, Shopify, GitHub, Airbnb, Square, and over a million other web applications. Originally from Denmark, he moved to Chicago in 2005, and now lives between the US and Spain with his wife and two sons. In his spare time, he enjoys 200-mph race cars in international competition, taking cliche pictures of sunsets and kids, and ranting far too much on Twitter.
Rework shows you a better, faster, easier way to succeed in business.
Most business books give you the same old advice: Write a business plan, study the competition, seek investors, yadda yadda. If you're looking for a book like that, put this one back on the shelf.
Read it and you'll know why plans are actually harmful, why you don't need outside investors, and why you're better off ignoring the competition. The truth is, you need less than you think. You don't need to be a workaholic. You don't need to staff up. You don't need to waste time on paperwork or meetings. You don't even need an office. Those are all just excuses.
What you really need to do is stop talking and start working. This book shows you the way. You'll learn how to be more productive, how to get exposure without breaking the bank, and tons more counterintuitive ideas that will inspire and provoke you.
With its straightforward language and easy-is-better approach, Rework is the perfect playbook for anyone who’s ever dreamed of doing it on their own. Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day jobs they hate, victims of "downsizing," and artists who don’t want to starve anymore will all find valuable guidance in these pages.

评分主要的思想是: 1,精简:最大程度上发挥你现有的资源,并外包其它资源。不要过多地准备和考虑未来。减少你的选择,然后专注于正在做的。 2,灵活:迅速根据当前的内外环境转变思想和做法,不断改变去趋近“当前的完美”(在这个时间段,我的做法是完美的)。 3,快:立即决...

评分如果这是你的第一本 Startup book 那么很可能阅毕会连连叫好,但除此之外对于有经验的从业者来说内容局限较大。尤其是书中吹捧的很多做法,比如著名的拒绝会议和全球化远程办公等,后来两年间都被作者的公司 37Signals 自己推翻了,大概作者编写此书时也没考虑过创业公司 scalability 的具体策略。另外,看似三百页的书其实干货只有不到一百页,也和上一部《Getting Real》或著名的《Lean Startup》重合太多。
评分“再就业”必读。
评分很棒的书,很颠覆的书。已经在读豆瓣电子书,之后会买原版收藏吧~
