> How do you know that over time it won't grow into something terribly unmaintainable? Like pretty much all Angular projects?

With 8 billion people on the planet and many people with Internet access these days I'm surprised there aren't like a billion people on Steam.

I remember 1998 Microsoft like yesterday. Google past or present is no 1998 Microsoft in terms of badness.

In 2002, Code Red mostly brought down the Internet. It was big news then. I can't imagine Microsoft could survive that happening today. Either way, making it sound like something that happened so few human years ago in either case dese

I agree and nothing about waterfall denied making prototypes, ever. We all know modern agile is nothing more than mini-waterfalls anyway.

I never liked UML but I agree time-sequence diagrams can be very helpful.
