Why I'm breaking up with Slack
- HoopleHead 11y agoYay! —yet another 'Dear John' letter to a piece of software. The originality is strong in this one!

- diegorbaquero 11y agoSometimes I feel like I'm in a Whatsapp group that I'd just love to mute. Great article.
- bonniemuffin 11y agoThe proliferation of communication tools definitely slows me down sometimes -- two cases in particular have been driving me crazy: 1) My morning "catch up with what happened overnight" routine now involves replying to urgent emails, urgent slack messages, and urgent google hangout messages, compared to the old days when at least it was all in one place. 2) I find it harder to look up an old conversation, because I can never remember whether we were talking through email or slack.
