I thought it was a good article, till I saw the Slack example.
The copy doesn’t even remotely grasp the scale of what the actual Slack sofware does in terms of scale, relaiability, observability, monitorability, maintability and pretty sure also functionality.
Author only writes about the non-dev work as difference, which seems like he doesn’t know what he’s talking about in all, and what running an application at that scale actually means.
This "clone" doesn’t get you any closer to an actualy Slack copy than a white piece of paper
