dhh understands what a good user experience is. Installing in a couple minutes and getting right into it is an amazing start compared to most operating systems that take ages to setup. Plus, many pre-installs (like Zoom) are web-apps that t

A lot of the "pre-install bloat" are just web apps, including Zoom. Zoom is just an 8 line file so it appears in the menu and to point it to a 22 line bash script to launch the app.zoom.us website at the right address. Easy to rem

Most people don't know what their home is worth, and if you get two appraisers or realtors to give you an estimate they'll likely be quite different. Similarly, if you think a house is worth $500k but you list it for $600k, you do

Zoom claimed they had to remove Chinese participants from the US-hosted meeting but didn't have the functionality to do that so (wrongly) banned the US hosts. They said it was wrong to do, reinstated those accounts, and are building th

Zoom has said that employees can enter a meeting, but there's no way to do that without being seen on the participant list and there is no way to record a meeting secretly. They've also said they wouldn't build these things.

They bought Keybase to bring on a strong security team as they try to build end-to-end encryption into 1,000 person meetings which is currently not possible with any solution.[1] They'll either deliver that or they won't. [1] htt

You're absolutely right that past decisions focused on ease-of-use over security. For evidence that they've changed their focus you can see their April 1 blog post[1] and the weekly video AMAs they do that are summarised in their

Why not look at their recent actions instead? On April 1 the CEO basically said they messed up and would pause all feature development and focus exclusively on security & privacy for 90 days.[1] They've also done weekly video AMAs

It was one of the fastest-growing SAAS companies before coronavirus hit despite all the free competition. The reason? "It just works." It's clear their singular focus on making it "just work" for even the least tech
