How hard is it to not mess up chat
- SQueeeeeL 4y agoIt's trivially easy to not mess up chat. Not messing up chat while middle managers continuing promising quarterly growth, that's another story...
- umeshunni 4y agoIt's actually better than it was 5 years ago. I worked at a company 2017-18 that used slack, changed jobs to a company that didn't use slack 2018-21 and now work at another company that uses Slack. I find that the product is much better today at basic things (performance, search etc) than it was in 2017.
- brundolf 4y agoWeird, my experience has been the opposite. Started using it in 2014, it was great for a few years and then started gradually going downhill in terms of performance, bugs, (desirable) feature additions, etc. I have constant problems with syncing and notification-clearing, and somehow Discord (?) got syntax highlighting for various programming languages in code blocks and Slack still doesn't have that
