I've seen him fancy himself a mini-DHH, with all the pomposity, fake parading, and power plays that goes with that. But he really has no ideas, his code is mediocre and he can only parrot stuff that comes from the top. So he does, endlessly.

Fundamentally I was at odds with Basecamp's culture because I wanted to learn and collaborate, so I gave a lot of code reviews. I didn't get it at the time, but that unmet need is why I kept trying to help even if it was with this asshole.

Because it was such a hard time for me to understand what was happening — the gaslighting had worked, and I was now in crazy-making territory — I feared talking with anybody else about it, because they surely wouldn't get it like my manager. So I never did.

When I finally buckled under, and told my manager this was a hostile work environment for me, he agreed to speak to his manager, but the response I got back was "but he's great guy!"

2 months later I quit. And 3 weeks after that was the mass exodus. He still works there.

I cracked some of the whiplash feeling of working with him here too:

One time, against my better judgement, I merged an Active Record PR to help with OSS he was prepping and got back "👍".

7 months later, when he needed it, he wasted half a day and I got 4 long paragraphs trying to deflect from his fuck up where I was suddenly Obi-Wan Kasper.

I'd be really careful with my words, but my underlying frustration would slip through, then he'd call me out for it and I'd feel guilty. So I'd try harder, but still he'd hammer away at my suggestions seemingly trying to get at me through them.

I didn't have these problems when doing code reviews for other people? I figured it was me and tried many things, I'd talk endlessly with my manager about him and what to try.

This past week, I've been wondering if it's time I open up about a coworker at Basecamp, who was super abusive towards me. At the time, something just always felt wrong and I could never put my finger on it…

@emma @james @lucian @joeldrapper I have such a hard time with companies when they invent these busywork heuristics… if you can foresee the 10 cases of duplication, then it's not bad to start with the abstraction

@baweaver you've just stated something elusive exactly that the solution became obivous 😄

It reminds me of when @joeldrapper and I were pairing last week, and why we both like to play around with lots of code shapes. This is it!
