I wonder if any companies have experimented with intentional occasional slack 'outages'?
Maybe 1-3pm daily?
I've seen some of the Gitlab Gospels that describe how to not use slack or whatever messaging tool they use in excruciating detail, and it made me think...
...if it requires this much instruction on how _not_ to use it, then maybe there is a tool that is a bit more intuitive.
