Nice POC, but if a "developer" can't handle irssi.. then I have bad news for him.

  I assume the the people choosing the methods of communication for startups are capable of learning to use irssi or weechat, but both of those clients take quite a bit time to learn and require significant amounts of customization to make them truly comfortable. It isn't a good business decision to require your teams to learn to use these tools. Is IRC an acceptable medium for a company? Maybe it can be. Is it wise? Not with tools like irssi.

    A big part of the appeal for IRC to me is the not so low barrier to entry with tools like irrsi

      Which is wonderful if you're an old hat who enjoys having new people get frustrated and leave before they have a chance to contribute to the ecosystem.

        yes precisely and people who use tech buzzwords like ecosystem

  If a "developer" can't handle punch cards and paper tape, then I have bad news for him.
