Companies like slack are externalizing costs to the customer. Instead of them spending money on developing a proper app, they let the customer provide them a runtime for their prototype which needs 1gigabytes and gigahertz for a chat app! What a waste. While this seems ok in the individual case - obviously people are buying it, it’s madness globally.
