I have no ideas how many times I'd have been fired if Slack did this. Let's just say my first pass on a message in the heat of the moment can sometimes be less

  When talking in person over some beers that is exactly what you get. I talk to people in chat like I would IRL. Personally I only like working with people that don't feel they need a filter. I sure don't have one. I find it is easier to trust people that say what they think and feel as they think and feel it. If you think "this code is an insecure joke and I keep trying to convince myself why we should not scrap it all and start over", then say it. I said that to a CEO once and he admitted he wrote most of that code, thanked me for my candor, and agreed it should be rewritten given how important it had become.
