The talk focuses on the four main tenets of reducing mass, embracing constraints, getting real in the process of development and managing debt. Jason explains how he learned that less is more when it comes to features and emphasizes the importance of building "half a product, not a half assed product". The success of Basecamp has shown that the lessons 37signals learned in building it are of enormous value.
