It’s rare for tech to be a determinant to a products success, which is why I’m confused at all the extrapolations here.

What’s working for Hey is years of brand development and marketing that allowed them to do such a hyped launch. It could’ve been written in php with jquery and it wouldn’t have made much a difference.



Plus it's way too early to even call it a success.


We’re talking about the tech stack here. It’s already a success because there’s a working product. No-one is arguing that the use of this stack guarantees business longevity.
