How can you say Discord has the worst software engineering when they serve millions of active users with little downtime?

- crummy 4y agoSeriously. More users than Slack, and I assume 99% of them are on a free plan too. Their engineering blog talks about some of the problems they deal with at that scale, impressive stuff: https://discord.com/category/engineering https://discord.com/category/engineering
- est31 4y agoI made that comment about the worst software engineering in the context of this discussion, which is about the frontend. If discord had good fronted software engineering, it wouldn't be as bloated. With good software engineering you can make even web/electron apps fairly lightweight (compare Atom with VS Code).
