> Slack shouldn't be replacing e-mail or meetings or phone calls. Absolutely wrong. We use Slack messaging and huddles to replace these things and are a more efficient workplace because of it. Really this is the point of Slack. I have no desire to go back to the throat clearing and careful writing that comes with composing emails or wasting time in unfocused real-time meetings and phone calls that could have just been handled through a few async messages on slack. If a co-worker sent me an email (which no one ever really does) I would ignore it until they message me on Slack about it. On top of that, Slack apps really decrease cognitive load by putting useful information into conversations or providing good prompts to start discussions from webhook notifications.
