Ask HN: How does your mid/long term engineering decision process look?

I'm always interested to read engineering blog posts about strategic decisions on technology choices and strategy - for example today's post about Shopify and React Native: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22181873

However, I'm often left thinking that we seem to have no equivalent decision making process, whereby these kinds of decisions are made, assessed down the line, and re-made where necessary.

I'm fully aware that:

- there's a survivorship bias here (people probably don't post their failures)

- this is good PR for hiring etc (reality may not have been as clean or cut and dried as is presented)

- I'm a senior IC, so I contribute to some decision making, but some may certainly be happening over my head

We certainly aren't incompetent, and we're much bigger than any source of these kind of posts I've seen, but it stills feels like something is missing.

How do these kinds of decisions get made/revisited/assessed/documented in your teams?
