I do not in any way post in jest. Slack is an abomination. Slack is all the bad organizational behavioral issues of email, except harder to filter with rules & with more sender-side options for creating noise for the recipient. It's lovely to send a slack and get quick response. It's a huge productivity killer to get dozens/100s of half-thoughts ad-hoc sent over IMs to individuals and blasted to groups. Is there a massive production outage? (I care about) Did someone just share a funny GIF? Is Bob helping Jim debug a firewall issue for a client? (none of which I care about) I got that stupid red dot, hard to tell without checking.
