Just got this slack from our server admin.

Slack: "People can't work when we're down"

GitHub: "Hold my beer"

Slack update notes are by far the funniest out there.

I love the Slack changelogs 😂

These slack socks are nice, but devRant ones would be nicer

Slack isn't down. You've been fired.

Shout out to devs who put comments in your code I'm so done with my team rn

Also we have slack for a reason stop texting me to update everyone on changes...

Full Slack 9gag Developer

Let's hope Slack releases this dark theme soon.

So someone invaded my workstation and did this on my Slack Status -.-"

We use emojis to maintain pull request status in a Slack channel

sorry linux <3

In my hunt for the perfect productivity app I came upon something called Freeter.

It is a productivity app that lets me gather what I need for the work I'm working on, and then manage it all in one place.

For me, It's super nice to be able to check tasks in Trello, or communicating in Slack without having to change tabs or open a new browser.

Try it out and tell me what you think

1969:
-what're you doing with that 2KB of RAM?
-sending people to the moon

2017:
-what're you doing with that 1.5GB of RAM?
-running Slack

Had a client ask me my slack username in slack...

Watch your git commit messages, you never konw when a webhook might publish the whole thing to Slack...

Did you know that you could only add 23 smileys to a message in Slack? 🤔 Well now you know! 😁

When the company uses slack, why the project lead want to create a WhatsApp group ??!!?

micromanager: "Quick and easy win! Please have this done in 2-3 days to start repairing your reputation"

ticket: "Scrap this gem, and implement your own external service wrapper using the new and vastly different Slack API!"

slack: "New API? Give me bearer tokens! Don't use that legacy url crap, wth"

prev dev: "Yeah idk what a bearer token is. Have the same url instead, and try writing it down so you don't forget it?"

Slack admin: "I can't give you access to the slack integration test app, even though it's for exactly this and three others have access already, including your (micro)manager."

Slack: "You can also <a>create a new slack app</a>!" -- link logs me into slack chat instead. After searching and finding a link elsewhere: doesn't let me.

Slack admin: "You want a new test slack app instead? Sure, build it the same as before so it isn't abuseable. No? Okay, plan a presentation for it and bring security along for a meeting on Friday and I'll think about it. I'm in some planning meetings until then."

asdfjkagel.

This job is endless delays, plus getting yelled at over the endless delays.

At least I can start on the code while I wait. Can't test anything for at least a week, though. =/

Walking up to my computer, on autopilot i typed my password to unlock it, pressed enter ...aaand realised it was unlocked and I just sent my password in the clients general slack channel.
Quickly changed it to a smiley and pretended it was raining..

Any one else who mistakenly typed a password or other secrets in a slack channel or similar? XD

If slack is down for more than 15 minutes you're legally allowed to leave work

PM (on slack): "we’re about to deploy to production".
Me: "ok"
… I keep on working on a task / remain available for any post deployment issues …
PM (5 minutes later on slack): "deployment broke production! We need to handle this NOW!"

My dev colleague has already called it a day, but I’m still online

Me: "ok I don’t have access to prod, can you describe what’s going on? I can’t reproduce on any other environment"

PM: …

10 minutes go by

Me: "anybody there?"

PM: …

45 minutes later, I realize PM is offline

The following day:
PM: "ok we got prod running again" (turns out it was client’s fault for not updating a config we as devs can’t access)
PM: "but we’re REALLY UPSET! You guys need to be available to intervene for any issues following deployment to production! At least one of you should be available!"

Me: "but, but…" 🫠

Anybody using Slack seen the short description under your profile?

I work for a company that is 100% remote. Slack just went down. We're doomed, on Halloween of all days.

Me on Slack:

I was looking for the `busy` status here in slack but there's only `active` and `away`. That's when I realized why this app was called `Slack` in the first place. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Slack channel message this morning:

why is it so hard to convince people to start using slack chat and giving up sending internal emails?

Slack: A tool for teams to collaborate and work efficiently

Instead

Slack: A way to share memes at work

Advice... Don't open slack at work 😂

Colleague started a slack channel for our team, management wanted nothing to do with it. We used it to work and have a bit of fun.

Some push / drive came form somewhere and now all the managers are on it. Yesterday I was told my screenshot and "snarky comment" are not appropriate for the workplace and to delete my slack message.

My comment was a joke about about a new app the company has to use "to increase efficiency" that broke and wouldn't let me do what I needed. It wasn't offensive, demeaning, sexist to anyone or even contain any bad language.

How petty and childish to be monitoring a private channel making sure everything is positive. We all joked that from now on our meme's must be about how awesome the company is and how much time we are saving on a daily basis.

God forbid we're allowed to speak honestly and openly or have a bit of fun.

Why is this website using the slack loading indicator!??

Have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE the stability of slack (and electron apps in general)?

Got notified of a new message in slack, clicked the channel and this is what I see, even after a restart. No content or UI controls of any kind are being rendered. No workspaces, no loading spinners, no errors, no warnings ... just nothing.

I don't give a fuck about your integrations, apps, giphy, video calls, search, threading ... I just want to read text.

Piece of fucking shit

!myContent

Saw this posted on one of my slack channels and made me laugh.

*Copies url from bitbucket*
*Switch to Slack on macOS*
*Presses command + v*
Slack: whaaaaaaaaaat :O I'm gonna freeze for few moments to understand what the fuck you just asked me to do

We have a group slack chat for my class which was intended to be a space for asking questions about assignments and getting help from your peers. Instead it has become a dick measuring contest in there where guys who know very little can act all high and mighty about their (plain wrong, in some instances) facts they're distributing without care. It pisses me off so much seeing how toxic it has become in there. It's the same 5 guys using it to bully each other and God forbid anyone else asks a question, they'll be mocked for not being confident handing in a solution they aren't sure is right. Why can't people treat each other with respect? We're in school to LEARN. Not impress other students with how much (read: little) we know. GJ, guys. You created a smaller version of stack overflow.

meanwhile in Kotlin slack chat! awesome news

Why is there no dark theme for Slack?

"How My Startup Failed Because My Developers Spent All Day Using Giphy Reactions On Slack" - An honest Medium post no-one has written.

OMG. I accidentally click into my own name on the Slack DM list, and what wonderful resource did I just find? HOW LONG have I been ignoRANT of this wonderful repo for my fave .gif contributions to project channels???!?!?!?

Okay, this is me panicking. We're switching to Microsoft Teams at work. This means that I will have to cut the Slack and switch to a fucking Microsoft solution for chat. Am I supposed to be worried?

So my company finally decided to make the shift from using irc for internal chats to Slack.

After a month of patiently waiting for my team to make the shift, I went ahead asked one of my (young) fellow teammate why he hasn't shifted to Slack yet. His reply:
"What's Slack?"

A normal day in slack.

When you have snacks on your slack.

Time for another update on our slack bot, this time i am armed with a demo...

Now you have an app for talking to yourself too !!! Thanks Slack

This one time, I turned off Slack, and actually got some work done.

EffuseJS, An opensource Chat Platform better than Slack, Rocket.Chat.

When someone comes to your desk and asks "did you get my slack message".... Which they sent 23 seconds ago 😒

I've been training a client for a few months now to not use Slack for sharing passwords and other secure materials.

I really thought I had made great progress. I even had him using a password manager. Then out of nowhere he sends the wildcard SSL key pair to me and a handful of other devs in a Slack thread.

At least we aren't storing important information like medical records. Oh wait, that's exactly what we're doing.

Anybody uses Slack at work
My whole company freaked out today because Slack servers were down
It was hilarious 😂

The Slack API is as pleasant as crabs from a street hooker

haha you had me there for a moment, slack ;)

Error: "Slack prevented your Mac from updating last night."

Good job Slack. You can take the rest of the day off.

My company just announced we are leaving Slack for Google Chat because it is a "superior" (and cheaper) tool.

FML

When I die, sign me out of all them 67 slack workspaces.

UGH the Slack dark theme hack broke with the newest version of Slack. apparently the Slack devs have had a dark theme "on the to-do list" for over 2 years. COME THE FUCK ON SLACK, ITS A CSS FILE.

Friend sent me this on slack the other day. 🤣

I finaly managed to make a dark mode on slack desktop app! Still has some bugs (like scrollbar being white) but works well enough for me. If anyone is interested tell me in the comments 🙂

How i did it (Linux paths but should be the same process for Windows):

You can execute scripts in /usr/lib/slack/resources/app.asar.unpacked/src/static/index.js

Using that i figgured out that slack desktop is basically an actual webview to their website and some os hooks.

To edit the contents of the webview you can call `document.getElementsByClassName('WebViewContext')[0].executeJavaScript("alert(1)")`

Then i just simply packaged up some custom css to be loaded with JS.

Quite simple actually.

Using this method you can create all kinds of plugins for slack, so go wild!

I'm starting my Monday morning with zero emails and zero slack messages

*team worried about Slack conversations being tracked in the company*
Solution: Shared text file over network. Edit and save it for private communication. Best idea ever?

I hate Skype for Business with a passion. It's the most garbage useless chat program imaginable. It can barely send basic text chats without throwing an error, and it can almost never send an image without the upload failing. The fact that it can't even save conversation history for each of your chats within Skype is ridiculous -- it fucking saves the conversation as an email draft in Outlook. Come on Microsoft, why do I have to open a completely separate program to view conversation history?! Skype conversation history should be saved IN SKYPE! Fucking AIM was able to save conversation history. I've tried multiple times to get the company to move to Slack or Teams, and for some reason they think that Skype is a good program and they ignore the fact that it's completely useless. It's 2019, why are we using a program that's built like it's 2009? I swear they haven't updated Skype at all in the last decade

When you ask a short question(in Slack) to your teammate that can be simply answered in Slack and they start a video call immediately after reading your question...

Now you have to stop music/video, clean the background...

I hate the dumbass people that send on slack: "good morning", "good afternoon" or "how are you?" and do not say anything until I reply. If you do this FUCK YOU!! Just ask the fucking question. Now I just ignore everybody until the question is made

Forget about coffee, nothing wake you up faster than a colleague mentioning your name in the slack channel where the stderr of the app writes.

Random Person in Company Slack: "Hi! Good Morning. How are you?"
Me (in my head): "Just raise a ticket...." 😓 😓

When somebody asks you what IRC is and the only way you can explain it is 'It's like Slack, but before Slack.'

Created a zip file with Linux Mint Archive Manager ... Tried to send it to a collegue via Slack ...

and slack ban us too .... :((((

When you're forever allone

Slack, my boss and I:
Me: Lucky I left when I did, I'll get through that fix when I'm less 🤢
Boss: Don't worry, take care of Harold now
Boss: If that's what we're calling the parasite

I recently found out I have a parasite, which I brought from India, living in my intestine. I'm on antibiotics. We're three devs at a startup running two products and on a shoestring... so Harold and I get our assets to office.

Today, I had new instructions at my work : report what I do
- in the redmine ticket
- in the project slack channel
- in the project manager's slack channel
- in the slack channel where there are 3 people monitoring
- face to face
- in an activity report
and this, several times a day

Can we call this micromanagement ? 🤯

This is response I got from my ex tech lead in a company that I left six months ago..

Btw account is registered on my private email and has admin access to Slack full of confidential files.

Don't even know why I worked there..

Slack is scared as hell about Microsoft Teams that is targeted to enterprise customers.

Did you hear about the full page newspapar ad they did?... Passive aggressive move by slack

Slack finally have dark mode for desktop! 🎉

Devrant slack theme 😀

Workplace starts using slack (or other chat app);

Now you can use channels: now your inbox has inboxes and you don't know where to look.

Now channels support threads: now your inboxes have inboxes have inboxes.

1,000 books on productivity and research show how important deep work is and time boxing your email:
Now your inboxes that have inboxes thst have expect your attention every moment of the day.. And I still don't know where to look.

Slack being funny when you start a conversation with yourself...

Finally convinced manager we need to use slack and it is down.

I try to convince my boss to choose Slack and not Microsoft teams.
What's your opinion on these apps ?

Home office:
90% playing games
1% getting things done
9% reading slack

When you accidentally type "git diff" in slack.

I like this platform... it's like Twitter and Slack hooked up for a night.

Friggin Slack...

So who else is on Mac and not updating Slack to retain the old good logo? LOL 😂

Slack notification in the #booking channel - Whenever our user orders something. 🎉 🔔

!rant Scheduled Slack message from myself after hours to myself during work hours:

“Hey idiot,
The thing you need to do is [solution]. Trust me.
Sincerely,
Past you

PS: Drink some gd water.”

*followed by panicked double-checking I’d actually sent it to myself and not a coworker*

I accidentally chat this on our general channel on Slack.

"I've noticed you can tell how much a British person likes you based on the amount of insults they give you."

The problem is, minute has passed. How I wish I have the time machine.

Co-employee in Slack: Let's get this bread

*1 hour later*

That guy: Bread has been acquired

Meanwhile me: *Forgot to eat breakfast and read the sentence wrong*

God I wish I was that guy

You know you've grown up when you switch from Discord to Slack

Most productive morning in months.. realized both my email client and slack were closed

So after the original idea getting scraped during a hackathon this week, we created a slack bot to fetch most relevant answers from StackOverflow using user's input. All the user had to do was input few words and the bot handled all typos, links etc and returned the link as well as the most upvoted or the accepted amswer after scraping it from the website.
The average time to find an answer was around 2 seconds, and we also told that we're planning to use flask to deploy a web application for the same.
After the presentation, one of the judge-guys called me and told me that "It isn't good enough, will not be used widely" and "Its similar to Quora".
Never ever have I wanted to punch a son of a bitch in the balls ever.

I dread the day that Slack has a “... has read this message 2 seconds ago” feature. Please Slack, continue letting me pretend I haven’t seen that message that I don’t want to reply to.

So I work for an ISP in the customer support center and we use slack for communication... As you can tell by my starred channels; we do plenty of work...

(Yes, potato is dedicated to nothing but potato)

Interesting. A few hours ago I had a nice domestic conversation with my coleague about robot vacuum cleaners. He was talking about iRobot Roomba and I was talking about Xiaomi. Here's the result!

Interesting thing is that we talked in a *voice* conversation. Over Slack. Over Chrome. Over corporate VPN (openconnect).

Where's the spying link? Slack or Chrome?

My bet's on Chrome.

What does that tell you about the privacy of your sensitive conversations? :)
Hide behind VPNs all you like. If you have proprietary software (or hardware in the case of Huawei) - you're being watched and listened to.

EDIT: I'm on Linux, he's on MacOS

Rocket.chat

Free and Open Source Alternative to the Fu*king Slack!

Slack is cool and all... But do we really have to have an "account per team" ? Damn I cringed so hard when I was setting up two-factor authentication and realized it was this way... Wtf...

Why? 😑😑

1. Coding
2. Answering everything said on Slack

Pick One.

How to slack during work like a pro? (if you are a unity developer)

1- make a full screen youtube player inside Unity.
2- fill most of the screen with panels (debug, file browser... etc)
3- watch a video about overwatch or something.

enjoy!!

Slack now(

Can someone explain some of my colleagues that THEY DON'T FUCKING NEED A DIFFERENT SLACK TEAM FOR EVERYTHING!

Want to have some random talk? Let's create a new Slack team
Want to add notifications from Git? Let's create a new Slack team
Want to try some new bot they found? Let's create another fucking Slack team

Leave developers in a room long enough and they'll drop verbal communication in favour of irc/slack/discord

Discord or Slack? 🤔

I haven't ranted since I joined my current job back in late 2018 because I've been in absolute bliss, extremely happy and feeling in the right place.

...And now here I am: due to some corporate shit we had to migrate from Slack to Teams and man TEAMS IS A SHIT.

Why do I find devrant more interesting than slack?

Fuck-a-doodle-do Fuck Fuck Fuck what a fucking dipshit. Scared the god damn shit out of me.

So I am deep in code, listening to my music pounding out some code and Drupal configurations and I feel a shadowy draft over my right side like someone is watching me.

I work with a guy that will not for the fucking life of me use Slack to send me a message when I have my headphones on or at all for that matter.

He gets up and walks to my cubicle and just stares with a goofy fucking grin on his face. You know the one. LIke a retarded fucking dog eating shit out of a wire brush. Yeah that's the grin. Silently derping with his fucking derp ass Derp McDerpington face waiting on you to turn around an notice him there instead of knocking on the cubicle wall or waving to get your attention.

The FUCK dude? CreepyPasta

Little story, about how i get things fucked up.
I've been working for two nights on some project, and we have notifications in slack about new commits, and i've been working for myself, not pulling any commits for this time, cause no notifications 've been received, and then when i've tried to commit&push i've realized that there is 14 commits before me, and someone just accidentally turned off notifications :C

Wtf, just heard on the news about the IPO of Slack, it now has a company worth of 25 billion dollars. I always thought of Slack as a normal startup that is kinda successful, but 25 billion is unbelievable.

My boss and I, with a normal morning greeting in slack

Me: morning boss, how are you?

Boss: very good and you?

Me: marvelous. hey boss, do you have a secret entry to your office? I didn't see you coming

Boss: hahaha, front door :| . And I greeted everyone too

Me: :( sorry

Boss: Microsleep 😂

Me: 😎 nope, extreme concentration

Me: it's a new development methodology, born from extreme programming

Boss: 😶

Didn't go to class on Friday cause some asshole broke into my car. Checked slack for my homework over the weekend before bed and...nothing.

Check slack 2 hours ago... huge project due in 7 hours... wtf slack thanks for no notification and updating my messages late as fuck...

Time to brew some coffee I guess.

My boss does this management by neglect thing - he is hardly in the office and mostly communicates in slack. Today it got really vague and ambiguous.

So - when 4 people don't understand your slack message - the obvious conclusion is that you hired 4 morons...

Someone who spends a lot of time chatting in slack is a slacker

drives me crazy when people send log or code snippets in slack and don't create a code snippet and send through as a plain message.

How the fuck can Slack use more than 2GB of RAM running inside of the fucking browser? wow

Things nobody asked for: Yet another Slack redesign.

FFS keep the design stable, I like to remember where shit is. Stop moving it around every three months.

Me: Ugh. I always forget to change my Slack status before leaving my computer. I wish it would just update when I locked my computer. And maybe cleared the status/set me back to active when I unlocked my computer.
*realization that I’m a programmer now*

——
A week later:
... it throws a nilError exception on every running of the Automator action to the stderr file it’s configured with, but it does what I programmed it to do. What? Why? What have I done?

Slack seems to be down. Lets just cut some slack.

My react developer tool popped up to tell me that my company slack is using the development build of react not fit for production...

This week's huge fuck you goes to... Drumroll please...
Slack!

You earned this prize for your stupid auto-sleep if there is no interaction for x minutes!

I don't want to install your crap software on my system, so i am forced to alt tab every 15 minutes just to press space and then delete, because God forbids i am being productive on my freaking IDE, second computer, test device and/or meeting!
Also lovely how phone notifications are not sent on mobile unless you are on sleep mode... How could I ever ask for urgent notifications if i take a small break? Oh, right! I should go to sleep mode, so people will think i didn't touch your shitware for 30 mins every fucking time i go to the toilet! :D

Please get your prize whenever possible!

When you have to lock down #general in #slack because people cant be responsible.

Then get stuck making #bs-general and other #bs prefixed channels so that people know if they join them they will be annoyed.

Slack's latest update just broke the darkify hack. It's 2019, right? It is unbelievable that there is no built-in dark mode for Linux, Mac, or even windows. I mean, they are aware of dark mode. It is available on mobile without trouble. Get it together, slack!

Slack markdown is different than Discord markdown >:(

I'll just leave this little gem here shall I....

Slack crashing the Intel Display Driver every 5 minutes.

This is fine.

Changelog slack

Why doesn't Slack have an option to mute an entire workspace? It can only mute individual channels in the workspace, like sure, I want to manually mute every single fucking channel when I'm no vacation, and then unmute them when I come back. Who the fuck thought that was a good idea? For fucks sake, Discord can do it, but the most popular enterprise chat lacks such a basic feature.

Just shared devRant on our work slack group

I don't care for Slack. There's nothing wrong with Slack. I just don't find a need for it when I already had email + IM. You know what I hate, though. People who show up one day and force Slack down the throat of an organization because "collaboration". Now, every day I hear "I didn't see that. Oh, you put in on Slack? Which channel?", "I put in on Slack", "I don't ever check my email, I just have Slack open", "Instead of filling up your inbox, I'm going to post this on 15 different slack channels" (which is why I have all the channels muted). All from people who can't type 10 words in a row without an emoji.

I hate when one of my cw starts to flood the chat, especially the #general. It goes like:

CW: hey
CW: anyone have a pendrive
CW: ?

Me: I have one (and tells him where he can find on my desk)
Another CW: I have one too

CW: thanks, I'll get the one from <Another CW>
CW: hahahahahaha

You don't need to write a whole thesis in a single message, but at least you should guarantee that each message have some meaningful information, not just "hey", "?" and "hahaha"

Slack is not MSN.

Who should and when it would be a good time to tell him this is a waste of attention?

Slack’s “Huddle” is beautiful. A game changer. It is just so easy to enter and exit a call now.

Good work, Slack!

sending memes on Slack

Today's my company's official final day with Slack.

Starting tomorrow it's nothing but the "superior" Google Chat. I will have no choice but to join the others who have already migrated over.

FML

It also mean I won't have any access to messaging outside the office because I don't want to accept the security certs on my phone.

In january this year i convinced my whole team to switch from Skype to Stride. And now Stride announced that they are teaming up with Slack... I am going to look like complete idiot because we have to switch once again ... 😥

GitHub and slack are both down. Guess I get a 4 day weekend 🤷🏻‍♂️

A watched slack channel never gets replied to.

When you open slack and keep trying to ++ people's messages :/

Seriously I think the Slack apps are really among the worst I have ever had to use. That is both on mobile (iOS) and desktop (Mac). It’s super slow thanks to Electron Desktop and super buggy on mobile. Connection Speed is really slow as well.

I just hate it.

Slack.

1969:
-what're you doing with that 2KB of RAM?
-sending people to the moon

2017:
-what're you doing with that 1.5GB of RAM?
-running Slack

I hate people editing slack messages.

Here it goes...
1. I receive a slack message (notification sound while working)

After 5 mins of finishing my work...

2. I open slack to look at the message
3. The message says just a hyphen with an edited sign. Why tf you have to edit the message when you can delete it? Or better, don't send it in the first place.

Why people? Why?

I love a number of the little slack "all clean" icons when you catch up on threads. They're adorable. My personal favorite is the floptopus.

Anyone else have fave examples of adorable, ideally platform mascot-related pieces of task-accomplishment-reward-bait (octocat, go gopher, etc etc?

It's a rant bc fuck anyone who's too cool for cute shit :p

Slack or Matrix/Riot.im and why?

Slack has to be joking. I just wanted to use it in my browser, because their beautiful and definitely not electron based app takes 600MB RAM. Fuck you Slack!

Needed a code review urgently. As I’m the only mobile dev in my team I posted my request in a mobile group channel on Slack asking for someone to take a look. I used @here to notify everyone that’s currently online and I got slammed for using @here in the channel because people got a bloody notification. Grow a pair and stop being a fucking snowflakes. This is a company Slack channel and I am asking you to take a look at company critical PR why wouldn’t I use @here

[slack]: here's a nice workspace name. Let's take it.

Workspace started to be unusable (constant refresh). Ticket sent.

[us]: We should delete it and create it again.

Few minutes later - workspace name unavailable. Ticket sent.

(48h later)
[slack]: my precious!!!

3 more workdays and then this nightmare of MS Teams will be over. I swear when Microsoft planned that they had a list of everything Slack did right and told the team if anything on that list was included they would be hung up by their unmentionables with fish hooks.

Normal colleagues pick the right slack channel and post a message there.

My colleague picks a random channel that has no relation to dev at all and posts a question/request there.

He must be using a random script to pick the next channel name :D

Slack threads are plain shit.

Don't know if i'm alone or not.. so i'm gonna leak my secret that my rubber ducky is actually a slack channel i made in my company's slack

Slack or HipChat?

Using HipChat from last 1.5 years. We got many bots written for HipChat to automate process. So I think it's gonna be challenging to switch to slack.

Notifications are not being sent from github to slack. Ok. Looks like that legacy slack github integration that has been telling us its no longer supported for months has finally been deactivated.

Fine. I'll cave and upgrade all 45 of our repos to the new integration.

Thousands of clicks later, finally done.

*but wait*

"Notifications still don't work?"

That's when I saw this notice on github.

FML I want my hour back.

When the colleague that you're arguing with on a slack channel is an administrator. He has the power to delete anything you post that makes him look like a dick.

I will not submit to this reign of tyranny!

When slack is down for 3 hours, but ur boss facetimes u and ses we need to review CVS and then u need to stop playing euro truck simulator and start working 🙃.

Thank you, Slack

Learn More is just a bunch of unsolicited instructions

Which is a good slack alternative?

-Simple.
-Channels.
-Mobile App.

I wonder y slack hates upper case alphabets wanted to give my username in camelCase

Just started using Slack in the office. Combined with the BitBucket plugin it’s awesome!

Am I the only one who thinks that Slack is so terribly expensive for a small company?

I'd like less gap between "free" and 8$/month/user...

We're using Slack for team communication.

After a lot of crappy slack apps I installed the snippetsbot today.

It's just great. Simple but really efficient. I love that damn little thing.

Holy crap! Slack just changed their logo.

Let me check Slack
Just before I go to bed
Just in case — OH NO

It’s not what you think
It isn’t like I broke prod
… request makes me cringe.

So, as you may be aware, I work as solo dev for small company. There is easly enough work for team, but I digress..

So, they wanted to stay updated whats progress on some projects. We use slack. I use git. I set up account for them so they can come into my git and controll if issues are solved, etc. I wont get started about any dev ever beeing judged by how much code is outputted, beyond scope of this.

So they started bitching about that git is too technical and too complicated and shit. They made bizzare bullshit google excel (not even in polish) and stupidass form to "audit issues". Hmm.. wtf. I just didnt use it becouse it was slowing me down and was just frustrating, how one can replace git + issue tracker with fucking spreadsheet?!

Okay, so having that aside, I complained about that so they were like "okay, so you want to use git and we want to be notified. whats your solution" me "oh, you want to stay notified, thats easy, I can plug my git into slack"

Now our slack is spammed to oblivion with git notifications.

Now they are annoyed that they are too notified. (Yes I consulted with them what will be plugged into slack)

Oh well

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Man slack is so evil and shit. They wont let you access conversion history without paid plan.WTF?!! That is so evil!

I hope they rot and die in hell. Fuck slack.

Why the fuck don’t people add their job titles on Slack!!! You’ll get a random message or bug report and you’ll have to go back to Bamboo Hr to know what team the idiot work in.

So, I think I have to close slack

I'm always thinking people are telling me to "sock it to me" when they've actually said "Slack it to me."

I really hate it when people ignore the messages I sent on slack

I don't mention you or the damn @channel for show

There is some shit that needs to get done, and I even hate it more when they ask me for something I already said on slack

Whaaaaat, you can't read now

Microsoft Teams is not like Slack the way I thought it was.

Recently we created a Slack team with co-workers and our boss. Everybody was shocked when we saw his username. It is "armageddon". Like a fucking gamer child.

Now that I have to use Microsoft Teams chat, I don't find Slack that bad anymore. Teams doesn't support threads, source code is poorly formatted without any syntax highlighting, and emojis look shitty.

Anyone else find slack a time waster unless you are actively working on a team? I feel it fails when used for a user group: l have left most slack teams because it is like repeatedly looking in the fridge and not finding anything interesting.

Props to slack for this. This is awesome!

Worst thing about having internet during your holiday is receiving Slack messages.

Do people honestly expect that I’m gonna help fix their problem while I’m sitting at the pool?

Does it bother you when a co-worker keeps talking on phone all day long and it's not work related? It bothers me.

People in slack mentioning the entire channel when it's absolutely none of my business

Boss uses @here in Slack channel, waits 5 seconds then tags me and another dev. Not sure he understands how @here works.

Slack sort your shit out. slightly_smiling_face ??? Stop making me doubt the authenticity of the smile emoji.

I just had to check our team's slack channel on the last day of my vacation.

well that's curious... Apparently, when uploading a csv file via bot, Slack now appends a .py suffix to it.

I wonder what's the logic behind it. Trick as many users as possible into executing potentially malicious code?

People that dont use slack threads.
Fuck em.

"Yeah, lets use slack, it is much more organized and will improve structured conversation"

And then they never fuckn use the god damn CORE feature but dump their replies into the channel like monkeys throwing their shit around everywhere except in the place the shits supposed to go.

Most heart breaking moment when u react at work in the morning and find the fucked up slack!!💔

Is there something like a DevRant discord, slack or riot server?

slack seems to be having issues with connectivity currently.

sweet, maybe I can actually get some work done!

or maybe i'll just browse devrant for a few more minutes. who's gonna know?
