#288 Rework | Enhancing Work and Life – David Heinemeier Hansson
This week, I speak with author David Heinemeier Hansson, a man with a seemingly unending list of achievements. He’s the creator of the famed Ruby on Rails programming development framework, multiple best-selling author, business owner, and Le Mans-winning racing driver.
David shares his story of his early days building businesses in high-school before finding co-founder of Basecamp Jason Friend and together creating a highly successful tech firm with no outside funding and ignoring all of the received wisdom on succeeding with start-ups.
We discuss:
- The real definition of work ethic
- Building Ruby on Rails
- Our AI future
- The power of working within constraints
- How not to bring your whole self to work
