Creator: Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson are the founders of software company 37signals and authors of the book Rework. This manifesto was originally posted on their website from 1999-2001.
Purpose: It’s a collection of 37 nuggets of online philosophy and design wisdom. It’s a great introduction to the 37signals’ school of thought and a fun, quick read to boot.
