The site I work on has hundreds of millions of visitors a month. A double digit percentage of our overall traffic uses our desktop site on mobile. It’s not the same use case as Slack but I’d bet it’s bigger than you think. Also, bug burden

You’ve assumed JHH made a mistake but missed that Goldman is probably using a third party data source to verify the self-reported income figure.
