WhatsApp is the platonic ideal of a consumer-facing software company. Even if your product does not fit the same mold, we all have something to learn from them. I don't think it is commonly held up as a standard. Too few people are aware of the magnitude of its success for it to play that role, IMO. If anything its story is underrated and understated. Instagram's, as well. Idolizing anything is a mistake, but treating them as a case study or example for lean engineering feels entirely appropriate -- who else would you point to? |
