Dan (@pizzaboy) reported@karrisaarinen @SlackHQ Hey @karrisaarinen are the new project slack channels scoped to just that project I.e if you use the Linear slack bot in the channel will it only have access to issues and data from that project? I found that to be an issue a couple of months ago that the bot wasn’t able to be scoped down? Or was this a skill issue on my end

Violeta Poole (@PooleViole45138) reported@dabit3 @SlackHQ Building software entirely inside Slack sounds like a recipe for turning every bug fix into a group chat debate.

Michael Grinich (@grinich) reported@SlackHQ Please fix the rate limits. The current Slack API is practically useless since you reduced them.

jimmy hackett (@j1mmyhackett) reportedi shipped a report that posted a PDF to @SlackHQ with buttons to approve or flag it. worked great in testing. turns out every single report was re-sharing the exact same file. Next.js had cached the upload URL on the first request and just kept reusing it. so every property got the same PDF. same charts. same data. looked fine in the message. was completely wrong. the fix was straightforward once i saw it. but i only saw it because i added logging on the upload path and watched what Slack was actually returning. without that i would have kept assuming the reports were right. this is the thing that keeps biting me. i build something, it posts, the message looks correct, and i ship it. but "the message looks correct" is not the same as "the data is correct". i need the system to surface the difference, not just tell me a message was sent. the reports now work the way they were supposed to. one message per property, each with its own PDF, two models reading it and leaving grades in the thread. the buttons are how you reply to the report, not how you open it. but i almost shipped a monitoring system that was monitoring nothing. it was just confidently showing me the same snapshot on repeat. what is the dumbest caching bug you have hit in ****?

Rahul Chetia (@ayoImNotTrippin) reported@SlackHQ there’s a widespread issue with slack today. Not sure about Mac but my entire team with windows seems to be impacted. Slack becomes irresponsive on windows a few minutes in. Tried ‘repair’ and force close, but no help there. We are using app in our phones to communicate.

siggy bilstein (@sbilstein) reported@evisdrenova hmm kinda like Kaniko caching locally, but I think the problem is that the industry has broadly gotten used to very slow deploy pipelines. Back when I was at @SlackHQ in like 2018, we used to SCP the monolith across the fleet and deploy in a couple minutes. Containerization is awesome for various reasons but it has gotten an entire generation of developers to just expect builds + deploys to take at least 15 and usually closer to 45. I do wonder how much perf you could squeeze out with replacing BuildKit but I imagine it's already highly optimized. I just *feel* like developers shouldn't have to think so much about why their builds are slow.

Fluorine (@FluorineHQ) reported@gustaf @SlackHQ Reliability is the floor, not the ceiling. Slack hit the floor and is now adding notification noise to mask it — classic engagement-metric trap. The deeper issue: messaging apps stopped being where work happens and became where work gets talked about. That's the gap worth solving.
