Is group chat making you sweat? (2016)
Slack is great when used as modern irc. But many teams try to replace email, issue tracker, ci, deploy all into slack and it becomes too much. People in our company made all these integrations to paste back emojis into GitHub comments, to create a new ci run and all sorts of things. Honestly, It was all very irritating to be in love with a tool this way. Sort of like forcing emacs to do everything (peace be upon emacs).<p>Thankfully it all came to a head when the buggy deploy bot made a broken deploy and we started using it just for plain chat and moved to free plan because we didn&#x27;t want history on purpose.
