I think the elegance is that all of this logic boils down to a few user inputs (global + channel notification prefs) and overall everything ends up feeling pretty intuitive. That’s just my opinion as a Slack user but as someone who’s worked

This is a great list. When I switched my view to “unread and starred” and started aggressively starring and I unstarring things to keep a sort of living todo list my Slack workflow vastly improved. I disagree with you on the topic of thread

Everyone else’s complaints are valid (forced signin, stolen content) but my main issue is it’s just completely useless. For example, I have a project or product in mind and search for something like “pink string lights”. The top three resu

I fondly remember del.icio.us which was an amazingly simple tag-based bookmarking tool. I believe it shut down shortly after being acquired by Yahoo and appears inop today. There may be a decent alternative out there but my system for bookm

Spotify has 215m users. I’d assume that is more than the group that used to download MP3s and burn CDs (which would require some technical knowhow and a CD burner).

It seems crazy to me that as a professional who’s diagnoses basically has to be followed there’s no other means to know how your treatment plan will financially affect a patient. Imagine if your car mechanic recommended a fix but had no id

I am surprised that the Indiana Supreme Court ruling basically upheld that the Bill of Rights doesn't apply to states in the absence of specific SCOTUS rulings. Can you imagine if individual states felt they have the right to suppress

Six years ago I left my job in IT, took a pay cut, and gave up great benefits to go work for a startup as a junior developer. I had caught the bug and knew I wanted to create software for a living. I’m still here and now I’ve helped to buil

They can do whatever they want with it but you have no obligation to maintain nor support it if it’s not a documented public API, in my opinion. It’s a bit like a house on a corner with a big front yard. People may cut through the grass to

That sounds more like fraud. What if I take out a loan, am perfectly capable of paying it off, but the asset backing the loan has lost sufficient value so as not to be worth the continued investment? Is there any shame in defaulting and let
