From someone who has experienced the dev flow on apps with very large, gnarly webpack configs 17 seconds is extremely impressive and sounds like heaven!
What a lot of devs may not be aware of, if their projects aren't of a certain scale & complexity (support for legacy code/library-choices/extreme-modularity/etc.) is that the magical nearly-instant hot-module reloading you experience with a clean, "normal" project should not be taken for granted because webpack builds/reloading can become a monster! Not to say you can't scale up good webpack performance (obviously slack has) just that it's not an automatic thing but something that requires some TLC.
Thanks for taking the time to share slack team!
