That's kind of wild to me to see an app like Figma that's a commercial success, but also a demonstration of technical excellency. My brain automatically assumes that you can't pick both commercial success and technical excellency at the same time and must compromise on the latter to build more features. But maybe there is hope and users actually love the benefits of a better tech stack (performance, consistency, stability) and maybe it's easier to build features with an excellent technical foundation.

The problem is your anchor point. Your idea of what software can and should be is based on? Gmail? Salesforce? The GTAV loading screen? The iOS warning that you’re running out of icloud storage space?

Silicon Valley software expectations are tainted by recency bias and private equity excrement.

The current ceiling to aspire to is literally “CI passes”
