Great article! Something I was wondering about when reading this is how these lessons could apply to software that depends on its userbase.
As an example, let’s use Discord; what if in 10 years the Discord codebase is seen as obsolete and requires a re-write? You can’t really make a “Discord 2”, because now you split up your userbase between Discord 1 and Discord 2.
In this re-write you would have to make sure that you aren’t splitting up the community that you rely on, since it is part of the product offering (it is basically a social medium).
