This is definitely not true (shrug) Attrition has more than doubled and most engineering teams are critically understaffed.

Most do, though, because there does tend to be a more correct position on this class of stuff.

They lost close to half of their engineering team, significant percentages of their operations teams, and many senior leaders.

No, I don't know anyone at Basecamp.

I'm not sure why you think people who care about justice harass coworkers as a matter of course. It's strictly the opposite, in my (considerable) experience.

I’m not sure why you think people who care about justice draw that energy from the same pool that motivates their work, as if it’s a zero-sum calculus. It isn’t. People who think about things systemically tend to apply that perspective in all of their practices. And that’s the value.

My point is that DEBUG level logging is (hopefully!) not on by default, and that this is what it makes the production log volume manageable.

My experience has been that 1 customer-facing byte tends to generate something like ~10 DEBUG-level telemetry bytes. This level of request amplification can't be feasibly sustained at nontrivial request volumes, your logging infrastructure would dwarf your production infrastructure.

Yes. All of the "private" correspondence he's received, which of course he cannot share, has been overwhelmingly positive. Indeed.

Hah! OK, sure.
