Exactly, the team designed their own agent architecture tailored to slack and enterprise setting, that is not based on any popular agent architecture like OpenClaw, NanoClaw, IronClaw or any others that I checked against.

Reverse engineering means understanding how a system works internally. So it is reverse engineering of a kind, just very different (and admittedly simpler) than e.g. decompiling execs

zggf··on The great software quality collapse or, how we normalized catastrophe
"Instead of addressing fundamental quality issues, Big Tech has chosen the most expensive possible response: throw money at infrastructure." "They're spending 30% of revenue on infrastructure (historically 12.5%). Meanwhile, cloud revenue growth is slowing."

Isn't this because: cloud gets more popular -> more big players join -> they compete with each other -> margins get lower?
