Ah one of those endeavours where an executive thought "well, it can't be that hard. We will do it better and cheaper and reap the profits". Just to be hit with reality.
To be fair, that's kinda how Zoom came about...
Wasn't the CEO of Zoom a high level engineer for Cisco? I believe it was one of those situations where the executives weren't listening to where he thought the WebEx platform should focus on development and he thought "Fuck it, I'll do it myself"
