I worked years ago in defense contracting, and remember being treated in a hostile fashion for admitting I was an Obama supporter.

Mostly good people, but super isolating when they would talk politics.

And I should note, that the pattern I noticed then and notice now with my mindlessly, tribally left colleagues who are mirror images of the right wing lemmings in defense: People who are really into politics at work are mediocre at best, borderline incompetent more often. Anecdotal of course, but I honestly don't think basecamp will be impacted badly by this months down the road.

I don't see a single standout amongst the folks leaving. Sorry.
