“Agree to disagree” is dismissive, shuts down collaboration, and prevents meaningful solutions. Faced with conflict at work, you might think “let’s agree to disagree” is an easy way to move on from the conversation. The words seem peaceful and hint at mutual respect. But in actual use, they aren’t peaceful, or helpful, at all. The phrase implies a deadlock, which can prevent the resolution of underlying issues and hinder productive work relationships.

For over twenty years, the Mac was the default at 37signals. For designers, programmers, support, and everyone else. That mono culture had some clear advantages, like being able to run Kandji and macOS-specific setup scripts. But it certainly also had its disadvantages, like dealing with Apple's awful reliability years , and being cut off from seeing how half our Basecamp customer base saw by default (since they're on Windows!).

AI technologies have advanced at a dizzying pace over the past two years, but workforces at many enterprises remain hesitant to adopt them. A common assumption is that employees are reluctant to use AI-powered tools out of fear that these solutions will out-perform their own work, and in time, make them replaceable. While job displacement is certainly a concern, the reasons for this hesitancy are much more complex.
