Every "future of work" startup is trying to fix Slack which was built to fix email which was built to fix meetings. At some point you have to consider the possibility that it's not the software. Maybe work is just like this. Maybe the meeting could've been an email and the email could've been nothing.
@Daojoan This email could've been [knocking on cube "door" frame] "Hey, sorry to interrupt, but what're your thoughts on..."
@phaysis @Daojoan I do think a lot of the crap can be solved this way. Just meet, have a coffee, kick around a few ideas then go do. We all used to do this back in the day.

In my consulting work I drop into a lot of different app ecosystems. Somehow I managed to avoid any Slack ecosystem until this very year.
1. Slack is legit terrible. It's worse than email. It has actually been eclipsed by Teams. That's wild.
2. People who do exactly as you said, or the DM equivalent, are the actually successful pattern.

@dnavinci @phaysis @Daojoan I hate teams!!!! Lol
