"The simpler product makes it much easier to maintain and scale."
This is good news for the developers, the product owners and the customers.
I still can't understand why today people choose a (Javascript) stack of build systems, ton of dependencies, and all kinds of exotic tech that is the latest and most hyped. As a developer you need to support this in the future. It might be nice to build today but it will be a nightmare later.
I have seen days go to waste because of Docker misconfigurations, problems with dependency versions, outdated dependencies not available anymore, bugs deep down in an unknown dependencies, and so on. Personally I want to build systems. I don't want to spend my day debugging all kinds of weird problems.
The (old) WhatsApp teams sounds like a great workplace.
