Productivity, on the other hand, is through the roof.
- milkers 5y agoContrarily for me I can not add myself to company VPC, because the command works on Slack. What a bummer.
- snvzz 5y agoThat's some terrible OPs and ridiculous single point of failure.
- kaustubhvp 5y agotime to go home...
- dylan604 5y agocloses laptop. phew, short commute today.
- siva7 5y agothe covid years sufficiently described
- dylan604 5y agoif i were a poet, i might have tried to put it in a meter. since i'm a coder, i made it a one-liner.
- JonathanMerklin 5y agoI'll do my next reboot at nine, I'll do my next commute with wine.
- sieabah 5y agoMore proof that SlackOps/ChatOps is a failed methodology. I'm not quite sure what the fascination is with it. It's certainly neat for querying infrastructure but I certainly wouldn't rely on it for critical infra. Maybe use this as an example that you guys shouldn't do that?
- JoBrad 5y agoThat feels like a leap too far. ChatOps should be a convenience, not the sole method of doing something. However conveniences are important.
- sieabah 5y agoI've had the luxury of building out an entire platform with ChatOps that built groups of people who had access to do deployments and mutate infrastructure. It definitely was a neat project using chat flows, but I ultimately said "this is great until slack is down". Slack promptly went down the following week and we just threw our hands up and used the AWS console.
- kgeist 5y agoWe host Rocket.Chat ourselves (300+ people company), and when it's down (which is very rare), all it takes is to make a visit to the IT guy on the same floor. Also our infosec people are happy sensitive data is not stored on servers we don't control. There've been attempts to move to Slack or Google Chat without success. Is there something we're missing by not using Slack?
- ziddoap 5y agoDid you intend to reply to the person you did? My understanding of the parent post was poking fun at the fact that these chat spaces (Slack or otherwise) allegedly end up being a productivity loss as people spend more time finding the meme-of-the-week to post rather than working. Nothing to do with the viability of Slack or whatever instant messenger you choose to use.
- kgeist 5y agoYes, my bad.
