The stance of Signal is insulting to anyone who lobbied to friends and family for them. In addition to making us look like idiots, when they kill the feature it is very likely that we will be called to the rescue, because the Signal archi

Of course they are. It is more profitable to hike prices to match your less-efficient competitors and maintain a facade of competition, rather than crushing them to become a monopoly and risk a heavy-handed government intervention.

How do you keep you commit focused on one thing if you squash? Often, before you reach to the point where you can make the change you want, you need to make side-changes which are not a strict part of the feature you're building. These

No, it's not. If there's a cap for how many tickets you can buy, you need 100 persons to buy (100 * cap) tickets. This doesn't scale the way electronic scalping does.
