Also, it's obviously faster to copy Slack 1-to-1 than inventing it from scratch. Making Slack was not just coding.

It's quite remarkable that a chrome extension can just update overnight and start injecting adware (or worse) and not a single warning from chrome. I shouldn't have to read hackern…

I've been playing exclusively CRPGs for the last 12 months or so, which was kinda a niche genre before the success of BG3. There are tons of way to beat those games and optimizing …
