Pretty much disagree entirely. I&#x27;ve found being in these open source channels 24&#x2F;7 extremely valuable as have many others. Seems like the author is railing against the fact that dealing with notifications may be difficult, but luckily most IRC clients give you a ton of options on how&#x2F;what&#x2F;when you should receive them. I think even if you turn notifications off entirely, you will find some value to being in the same places as the developers of the software you use.
