They seem to be a company of bastard suits.

Their desktop client is an abomination. Worst even among electron app. IIRC once it was spanning a process per identity. Because some manager decided to hire bootcamp webshits. It is possible to do much more decent apps with even electron.

And when an article about electron was posted, a person from Slack, 'javascript hacker at slack' in his bio, jumped to defend it without even putting a disclaimer.

Now they are treating a security researcher badly with this low bounties. This guy has good intentions and didn't want to sell it. But even if 10% of people sell it or use on behalf of nation state actors, imagine the dammage.

Pretty sure it is some shitty MBAs who don't even know about technology being there.

It is not welcome to be undeplomatic on HN, I know. But let me say this out. Fucking non technical people should not be allowed to decide on technical matters. But those shitheads generally have political abilities. That's what happened when Larry Page tried to oust those suits out of Google engineering divisions.
