You use it to communicate with potential clients? I would offer an alternative to them and I think most of them will follow, but it is more of an annoyance than a serious issue to lose business over.
On a separate note 10 years ago there was a serious movement to adopt open protocols like Jabber and SIP and now even open-source communities are happy in using Slack and JIRA. Looking at you Clojurians.
- ken 7y ago> now even open-source communities are happy in using Slack and JIRA That just means these systems aren't so hated that they have 0 users among those communities. There are open-source communities I no longer participate in, purely because of the annoying collaboration tools they switched to. Just because some people are happy with a tool doesn't mean everyone is. It means a few people in charge chose a tool, and they're implicitly selecting their community from the people who are OK with that tool. I don't know what the story is with Clojure that you refer to, but I've never had any trouble getting Clojure help on good ol' IRC. I've never left an open-source project for sticking with simple classic tools that work.
- dimitar 7y agoThe clojurians slack seems to be the most active community, unfortunately. I'm glad that there are people in IRC too.
