The amount of Salesforce fluff in the post is quite palpable. There is a clear lack of control with the leaders in Heroku judging off this post because of the salesforce transition. This project Periwinkle sounds awful. Basically thats the end of using Heroku for us. If it remains like this its something to judge from.

There really aren't any Heroku leaders anymore. I think anyone director level or higher is Salesforce—not Heroku. It's worth mentioning that this isn't a result of Salesforce acquiring Heroku. That happened 12 years ago when Heroku was next to nothing. Salesforce gets credit for investing in and making Heroku. Why they ultimately have decided to give up on it I have no idea. I hear it's because salespeople had a hard time understanding how to sell it which seems like a strange reason to give up entirely.

  Salesforce is where good software goes to die (or at best become stagnant and lame). Same thing happened to quip and will happen to slack.

    I didn't know Slack had been acquired by Salesforce. That's sad, I guess.

    Oh no! I hope Slack doesn’t become slow and bloated, or go through unnecessary UX redesigns. /s

  This happens after every single Salesforce acqusition. If you think you're different, compare how many new internal promotions there are, how many senior management have left and how many Salesforce transplants there are. Everyone thought they were the darling child, at least for the first 18 months.
