How Big Technical Changes Happen at Slack

Ironacally, Slack IS using at least couple of fads on a product-defining level: Hack is dead by PHP 7 and PHP 8 will dance on it's grave this year. Electron is awful when used atop of big JS framework-based apps (it is more or less okay with nicely crafted Vanilla JS).

And at the same time it is a great commercial success. This last one I cannot understand.

Commercial success has little to do with your tech stack choices. I don't understand why people are so obsessed with jumping ship for the latest shitty framework just as the old one is getting really good and stable.

Because they sell a product that fits customers’ needs. The tech stack doesn’t matter.
