Slacktyping: I'm typing when you're typing (2018)
While I do appreciate the humor here, it's a personal gripe that conversations on Slack tend to optimize towards speed of responses - and when taken to an extreme, they take the form of:<p>> This message<p>> is<p>> sent over a few lines<p>(awkward pause)<p>> so that<p>> I can get in a point<p>> before you start typing something<p>Asynchronous means of communication (Github PRs, Jira tickets, dare I say e-mails) mean that I submit a fully-formed thought as a digest, but Slack sometimes becomes a stream of consciousness - one that I have trouble breaking someone out of.
