Better to have many narrow channels that update infrequently than a few firehose channels that are impossible to keep up with. Of those channels, there are usually only a couple that an engineer really needs to follow on any given day, so it's easier to go heads-down. In the firehose channels things get missed unless people are very good about using @ mentions for the correct people, which most aren't. Also, if so many people are "doing it wrong", isn't that a sign that something is lacking in the UX? People use email poorly, too. You have to make your communication work for your organization.
