"we should have built the absolute minimum"

This is an easy trap to fall into. While not bad advice, because its easy to overbuild - sometimes polish is what gets you to success. If slack built just the bare minimum and didn't flesh things out thoroughly, they would not have been nearly as successful.

You don't build the minimum and stop there. You build the minimum to prove an idea is even worth going further on.
