Several grumpy opinions about remote work at Tailscale
&gt;I eventually turned off Slack notifications entirely, after experimenting with many different variations. @here is an abomination; notifications in each &quot;other Slack instance&quot; need to be set separately; it spams your @#$!! phone with every single message anyone types, even while you&#x27;re on your PC. Forget it, notification privileges revoked, and I&#x27;ve been much happier since.<p>Eh, I&#x27;ve found Slack to be highly competent at presence management, when it&#x27;s working correctly, which is most of the time. It&#x27;s usually smart enough to know I&#x27;ve walked away from my computer, and to start pushing the notifications to my phone instead, and then stop again. And I&#x27;m pretty sure it dismisses its own mobile notifications once I&#x27;ve cleared them on desktop, too.<p>&gt; Third, it&#x27;s highly integrated, not to say bundled, with Calendar, to the point where it obnoxiously auto-schedules a Hangouts meeting id even for your team lunch.<p>This is a setting in your GSuite Admin panel.<p>Also, I feel like Hangouts Meet (the evolution of Hangouts itself) is a much better product in general, and the Hangouts Meet Hardware is surprisingly decent, if expensive. Hangouts even has auto-captioning, which is kind of cool!<p>Surprised the author didn&#x27;t call out Slack video calls. They&#x27;re... also decent! And baked right into Slack! (So no incremental cost!) But they only work for meetings with people in your Slack workspace, so that&#x27;s a bit auto-limiting.
