How I Ruined Office Productivity with a Face-Replacing Slack Bot
All you ruined was the fun of photoshopping his face into things.<p>Let me draw a parallel with a story of my grandfather, whom I never knew: Apparently a great hobby of his used to be to collect sayings from people. Whenever he&#x27;d meet anyone, let it be new or already known, he&#x27;d ask them if they knew any new sayings. He wrote all of them down in his little book of sayings. My father started picking up the hobby and they&#x27;d get excited when they had learned a saying the other didn&#x27;t know yet. They&#x27;d do this at diner, around the fire place, you name it.<p>Then came my grandfather&#x27;s birthday and one of the &#x27;gifts&#x27; he received was an encyclopedia of sayings, within it were almost all the sayings in existence.<p>Suffice to say the fun of collecting new sayings was gone, the interest in sayings was gone and a great hobby got ruined.<p>So all I can see is that you took something that was a culture thing in your team and you took a nice fat automated dump on it.<p>The tech is very cool nonetheless :)
