I'm not sure I agree entirely. Yes, Slack can be a table saw without guard. But the guard solution for Slack is company culture: each team needs to have a proper front-desk process, and the manager needs to (viciously) defend his team members that are not on front-desk duty (if at all -- a good organization has a central front-desk process for all its teams). There are organizations that get this right.

None of that actually solves the distractions problem really. The fact is that using slack makes it worse. I've actually tried a lot of the solutions talked about here and none of them actually work. Software like slack is literally designed to make people interrupt you and pull you away from productive tasks.
