    Can someone please buy @SlackHQ and shut it down? This platform is horrible.

    Slackbot legit might be one of my favorite uses of AI outside of coding. I use this thing constantly to find past conversations, summarize entire chats, help write responses, look for things I might be forgetting, or even look up past context on a decision or topic. Seriously @SlackHQ this legit improves my life

    @NotionHQ @SlackHQ Channel-scoped agents fix the biggest AI rollout blocker โ€” broad access feels risky to admins. Smart default.

    It's from 2011, but I still miss Glitch. It was a browser based MMO based on collecting and crafting. Crazily enough it was made by the company that went on to rebrand and make @SlackHQ. The messaging system in the game became the basis for Slack.

    @SlackHQ you guys are mental. You barely warn your users about migration and delete 20% of your slack active orgs without repeated warnings? You guys think everyone reads your cute email newsletters? What about BIG RED WARNINGS daily on the slack app itself? Ridiculous. Please help us get our accounts back.

    @gustaf @ycombinator @SlackHQ What is degrading? WhatsApp imo is not a good example. Canโ€™t even hold login on a desktop, and have to auth with your phone. Sync not super reliable either

    @SlackHQ @trq212 And a verbosity problem

    Jason Alco (@jason_alco) reported

    @SlackHQ Our team loves the platform, but we really need to fix the mark unread feature. Itโ€™s been broken for years now. First, you should be able to mark a channel as unread without opening the channel and selecting a message. Second, half the time marking a message as unread doesnโ€™t work. I have to go message by message, trying over and over until one works. Please fix this, thank you ๐Ÿซ

    the scariest bugs in an agent system aren't the ones that crash loudly. they're the ones that succeed. quietly. and then stop. and you don't find out for three days. this week i shipped `fix(daily): heartbeat + agent-health for the daily-report jobs` (commit 10c954a). the cron had been running. the launchd plist was registered. no errors in the log. but the report wasn't landing in @SlackHQ. it took me longer than i want to admit to realize the job had silently stopped delivering. no crash, no alert, just absence. the mental model i pulled from it: a job that runs is not the same as a job that works. completion and correctness are two different signals, and most infra only monitors the first one. heartbeats fix this. you instrument the output, not just the process. if the report doesn't land by 8:05am, something fires. you stop trusting the scheduler and start verifying the result. this applies way past cron jobs. any pipeline where you only watch for failure will eventually drift silently into uselessness. the absence of an error is not evidence of health. once i wired heartbeats into the @AnthropicAI-powered agent fleet, i found two other jobs that had the same problem. they looked fine. they weren't. if you're running automated jobs and you're not monitoring outputs, you're not monitoring. what's the longest a silent failure ran in your system before you caught it?

    @thdxr @SlackHQ unbelievable right? terrible ux

  • mjparme
    Vortex (@mjparme) reported

    @SlackHQ why is there no obvious way to join a channel in Slack? Seems like a huge usability problem, the + sign next to channels creates a channel, but joining one is very elusive

    @SlackHQ should fix the UX of their video player. It's one of the worst pieces of UX I've ever interacted with. It feels like I suddenly landed on some government app. Too messy

  • _THE__FUHRER
    VISHAL (@_THE__FUHRER) reported

    @SlackHQ @stewart Stewart Butterfield and his team were developing a game called "Glitch" in 2011 The Glitch was an ambitious and creative multiplayer game, but it struggled to find a large enough playerbase. They had to shut it down on 2012

    [1/5] Your #brain cannot multithread. When you switch from writing code to answering a @SlackHQ ping, your prefrontal cortex doesn't execute a clean parallel jump - it triggers an expensive, messy tear-down and rebuild process. You are burning raw compute.

    @SlackHQ came out of a failing 10-person game studio the team needed a way to coordinate that wasn't email they built it for themselves then realized every distributed team on earth had the same problem

    @TheNickBigar @CricTalk29 @SlackHQ No it doesnโ€™t track time, you need to tell the time spent via message. Example- worked on X for 30 mins - remind me about checking the production issue around 3 pm The idea is to reduce friction for users on how they track time and tasks
