Slack made the process easy, and with emojis and slash commands, fun and useful.
I think another benefit to slack is you can come back to it and see the history. IRC is ephemeral unless you stick to a single device and leave it running. That's impossible for a mobile phone.
It frustrates me that some large projects (ex Ansible) who insist on all discussions there, and explicitly ignore things like GitHub issues.
- Spivak 7y agoI am in no way saying that this isn't a barrier to entry (and if we're honest I think that barrier is an intentional choice) but you're supposed run a bouncer/logger and just connect your client to that. It's always weird to me that IRC didn't evolve like email with something like IMAP.
