Baldur Bjarnason"Slack is the opposite of organizational memory" https://abe-winter.github.io/plea%27s/help/2018/02/11/slack.html
Slack works when your company is small enough to fit in a single room. Starts to become counter-productive after that IMO.
Scott Miller@baldur I think this is another case of people trying to ram a square peg in a round hole. Slack is a communications tool, not a documentation or PM tool. It's great for allowing you to have semi-asynch discussions, and to have discussions with remote employees
This is true. People have been using Slack as a general purpose tool when it isn't. A lot of them are trying to use Slack for everything. Not just communications, docs and PM, but also deployment and infrastructure via bots and for general purpose notification.
But even without that, channels get very noisy once you have more than a few people participating.
@baldur I do kinda like slack for notifications about builds and deploys, but only if handled well. I tend to turn off notifications from bot notify channels and use keywords to notify about specific things in them.
@Miller_Geek Ah, that's a good idea.
