Non-tech people like Facebook (et al). Understandable. Hell, tech people like Facebook. Because of the social graph, understandably, I get it. You can't fight the compartmentalization of our previously open Internet, I guess. Or maybe, at least developers know better.. ? Turns out no. What annoys me to no end is when developers willingly crash right into this "electron react"-whatever hipster bullshit cause its "cool". We had IRC _thirty_ years ago. Slack is not cool. Sure, upgrades are in order for IRC. But it works. Slacks evaluation is so laughable. Obviously it is because of its data - that it won't share. Anyway. We should know better. We should not willingly put everything into slack or hipchat or whatever. Why would we? Ease of X, I guess. Give me an api where I can sync all my stuff locally and, you know what, fair enough, go nuts, but these guys build their businesses based on holding on to their data like vultures (no surprises there) . Understandably. I just thought tech savvy people would know/do better. Anyway, that's my two cents. I feel like a minority.. Now get of my lawn.
