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.

When you are so lazy to make a dark theme so you just add warning.

Welcome to JavaScript where
Number.isInteger(0.9999999999999999) is false and
Number.isInteger(0.99999999999999999) is true

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

I love the Slack changelogs 😂

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...

at least not public void I guess..

I instinctively press Ctrl+S everywhere I write text, even in chat like Slack or Skype. Do I need help? :/

D E F R A G M E N T I O N

Full Slack 9gag Developer

Let's hope Slack releases this dark theme soon.

Someone posted this in my work slack

Sending files on WhatsApp inspite of having a slack workspace and git 😑😑😑😑😑

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

Someone at Microsoft has a sense of humour I see...

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

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

sorry linux <3

Had a client ask me my slack username in 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

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

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

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

My face when I typed my bash commands into slack for the 8th time today

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

Anybody using Slack seen the short description under your profile?

Just in case you were wondering...

Gotta love witty changelogs

Slack channel message this morning:

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

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)_/¯

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

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.

!rant

Really happy about this one! I cannot go into details yet but hopefully will write a blogpost about it when I may disclose it :)

Not an office prank, but when I was in high school we had some public computers and I switched some shortcuts for chrome and internet explorer, so when you clicked chrome, something that should not be called a browser would open.
And than I got the brilliant idea: I wrote a script camuflagged as a chrome icon that would launch 100 internet explorers. Legend says that people are still raging to this day.

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

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 😂

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

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.

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

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

meanwhile in Kotlin slack chat! awesome news

*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

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

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?

When you have snacks on your slack.

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

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

Why is there no dark theme for Slack?

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???!?!?!?

A normal day in slack.

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

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?"

Ok, I am fucking finally pissed off...

My current company, I worked for last 1.5 years, for project management they use slack.

Every Monday we have meeting, and we go over every project and talk what must be done. Every project has it’s own channel with some stupid random code name which is impossible to remember because there is hundreds of other projects with similar name.

If there is something todo for dev he just gets mentioned in in channel.

No to-do’s, so basically u have no idea what u need to do, there’s no way to follow progress. Well, of course u can go over each channel and check if u need to do sth, but it takes fucking time. Also because of that u need keep your boss informed all the time about the progress. In others words it’s messy.

To make it worse, there’s usually a few different channels for the same project (1 for devs, 1 for designers, and others for something else like ux or videos).

I brought up this concern to boss many times, and every dev agreed. So for like a month we tried to use flow app, but still everyone used slack + designers told that they don’t like it. So after trial they said we are going to keep using slack. What the fuck?

Now I don’t actually mind their decision, but there one thing that I can’t stand about current method - slack is free, so all history and files gets deleted as time goes. I can’t even count how much times I needed to re-do some work just because slack deleted some files I had put there for later. Or lost some important information about project, that we needed to discuss over and over every month...

3 fucking more weeks left in this stupid company then I quit.

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

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.

Finally got my avatar. Setting it as my profile pic for Github, slack, Jira.

Thanks @dfox

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

Am I doing it wrong?

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

Case dismissed 😂

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

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

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

That's what i call "perfect timing"

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.

*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?

Friend sent me this on slack the other day. 🤣

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

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

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

FML

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.

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

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

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!

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

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'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.

Important Announcement:

The word 'slack' must not be used as a verb.
For e.g.:

Person : Can you please slack me?
Me : Ummm ok, I will send you on slack...

Avoid those awkward moments. Stay alert!

Slack finally have dark mode for desktop! 🎉

"Software and cathedrals are much the same – first we build them, then we pray."

Yup, that's how we work ^_^

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

When developers are given the freedom of expression 😂😂

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

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.

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

Devrant slack theme 😀

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

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

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)

Apparently...

So happy to be making this last post

Did this on friday. Now tomorrow is monday.😑

Friggin Slack...

When you accidentally type "git diff" in slack.

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

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

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

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

When you have to stay awake at nights just to support more timezones and chat..:/

*Writes Slack message*
*Sends*
*Notices mistake*
*Goes to edit*
*Accidentally pins message*
*Goes to edit*
*Accidentally deletes*

*Gives up on life*

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

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.

Why? 😑😑

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.

Disabling Slack and Outlook notifications for 3 weeks

aahhhh, it's gonna be a wonderful time!

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...

1:15pm - When you're done replying to email, skype, slack, linkedin, and voice messages... :/

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

I'm so fed up with this shit

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!!

Discord or Slack? 🤔

Okay guys, today I've made this, I'll publish this on my GitHub soon (some stuff has to be done before I'll release this crap) and here we go, working on Night Mode in Slack:

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: 😶

Rocket.chat

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

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

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

1. Coding
2. Answering everything said on Slack

Pick One.

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

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

Just shared devRant on our work slack group

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

Why do I find devrant more interesting than slack?

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.

If I'm answering your slack messages and emails I'm not CODING

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

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.

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.

Slack crashing the Intel Display Driver every 5 minutes.

This is fine.

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.

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

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

Slack is the second most memory hungry application on my laptop. Guess the first one?

Came home from work.
Turned on pc to start a small project because I got an idea I liked.
Picked my music for programming.
Opened eclipse -> new project -> maven project
UI asks for group and archetype Id. Can't think of a nice name right away
"Let's browse devRant for one or two posts"
That was at least 40 minutes ago. Still browsing.

Since I started working it is really hard for me to do any private projects. But I really want to.

Any suggestions?

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

Slack markdown is different than Discord markdown >:(

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!

Changelog slack

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?

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

Slacked...

sending memes on Slack

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.

A watched slack channel never gets replied to.

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 ... 😥

Slack or Matrix/Riot.im and why?

Been teaching for this place a while. Still have yet to be paid or properly onboarded. Needless to say, I've emailed them a half dozen times already about it. And including colleagues, have talked to probably ten different people. Monday morning and all of next week until they reply. I will be @channel-ing their primary slack channel until this is resolved. Just curious how much faster devRant will get back to me before these douchebags? <3

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.

Slack.

Holy crap! Slack just changed their logo.

Switched from Skype to Slack for internal team communication...
Wish we could use devRant someday.. 💬

When your co-worker initiates the conversation like this on Slack or ipMessanger

Co-worker: "heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"

Me: :|

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Holy meta info, Batman!

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!

So, I think I have to close slack

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!

Guy on Slack creates a subreddit named after a popular tech community group. Guy isn't admin of the said community. Didn't bother to ask permission from the admins to use the community name. Didn't even care to poll people if they want a subreddit. In fact he is in danger of getting kicked out by the admin for being a know-it all attention seeker, and for reasons I don't know why.

No one cares, people question him why a subreddit is necessary. Only three out of 3000 people join. Subreddit is deserted.

He then gets reality callout from a member who then tells him flatly that nobody is interested in his subreddit. Then he goes on Facebook whining how everyone is bullying him lmao.

Yeah do more stupid shit like that and you'll get called out every time. Please stop playing the victim.

Reading in a while for a slackbot creation tutorial. Then suddenly, a random note appears:

"Be sure to use version 0.3.0 of slackbots as newer version are not perfectly compatible with what's illustrated in this tutorial."

THEN UPDATE YOUR TUTORIAL!

DO NOT! WASTE MY TIME!

[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!!!

Has any of you worked with someone claiming he's a "Senior Software Engineer" but he does not know what he's doing? I'm not saying I'm a very good developer myself but I know how to differentiate a good code from a garbage code and architecture. It's really becoming a pain in the ass...

One of the top reasons why I decided to work for a different company is that they use Slack.

Imagine if Slack adds a scheduling feature;

"Production Bug. Need you ASAP" @ 6 AM Monday

Demand for coffee will plummet.

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 🙃.

Which is a good slack alternative?

-Simple.
-Channels.
-Mobile App.

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.

My slack status today. This needs to happen...

So talking about discovering Drone CI turned into existential crisis

what a way to start 2020

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?

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

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

Do you have a listing of the devRant open source projects - devRant slack bot, analyzer...?
Thanks

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.

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

Props to slack for this. This is 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...
