a Nate da Novenchi 🐂🀄️ (@NATE9169) reported@adjohu @SlackHQ The crypto community loves the idea of Wild Static, do you have a solana wallet we can donate to to help fund you vision?
-
Ajith Joseph (@theajithjoseph) reportedFriday thought. @stewart raised $17 million to build a video game. 3 years of work! 40 people. And almost nobody wanted to play it. He shut it down in December 2012 and laid off most of the team. The only thing left standing was the chat tool they'd built to talk to each other while working on it. That tool was @SlackHQ. @salesforce bought it for $27.7 billion. The thing you're building in the quiet stretch isn't wasted. Sometimes it turns out to be the actual product.
-
HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported8a On my morning @Zoom with Jbazmine. Planning out the day, so we can work out the plan. Going through and getting eMail down to zero and assigning tasks in @SlackHQ.
-
Mohi (@disismohi) reported@SlackHQ: 40% less merge queue time, CI type-checking down from 7.5 minutes to 1.25 minutes. Canva: 58s to first error in the editor down to 4.8s.
-
Bad **** (@TeaseTech) reported@thdxr @SlackHQ What's the problem?
-
Ellen DaSilva (@ellenjdasilva) reportedSketchy behavior: Someone from @SlackHQ joined my company channel last week saying "we're here to help you with the product" (we're not having issues). Then today started pestering me about an overdue invoice (we don't have one). Beyond violating. Shameful behavior @salesforce.
-
John Harnett (@JohnHarnett) reported@cyberomin @digitalandreas @SlackHQ If you've filed a bug with them on the last 5 years and arent a big co then you'd know. They dont fix stuff just because it's broken.
-
trent.sol (@trentdotsol) reported@cavemanloverboy @alessandrod @SlackHQ i did. it's the ones who won't that are the problem
-
Karri Saarinen (@karrisaarinen) reported@gustaf @ycombinator @SlackHQ What is degrading? WhatsApp imo is not a good example. Can’t even hold login on a desktop, and have to auth with your phone. Sync not super reliable either
-
Manoj Yadav (@Manoj____Yadav) reported@TheNickBigar @CricTalk29 @SlackHQ No it doesn’t track time, you need to tell the time spent via message. Example- worked on X for 30 mins - remind me about checking the production issue around 3 pm The idea is to reduce friction for users on how they track time and tasks
-
HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported8:30a Loading up the team in @SlackHQ and getting eMail down to zero. Planning out the day, so I can work out the plan.
-
Alex Sidorenko (@alexei_sid) reported@Moore_Irish @salesforce @SlackHQ Pricing changes that reduce admin control while pushing AI features rarely improve outcomes. The real test: does the AI actually help teams make faster, better decisions, or is it just another feature tax masquerading as innovation?
-
Stache (@stacheFonzi) reportedIt's from 2011, but I still miss Glitch. It was a browser based MMO based on collecting and crafting. Crazily enough it was made by the company that went on to rebrand and make @SlackHQ. The messaging system in the game became the basis for Slack.
-
SGN (@SGN06380601) reported@SlackHQ i need customer service help and am not getting a response from your agentforce. can you please help?
-
Sophia Yen MD (@teenmd) reported.@SlackHQ Why don't you have human service agents? You are a GIANT company used by many. The only contact us is via a webform?
-
wanderingwanderer (@iceman_ome) reported.@SlackHQ and @Jira have the weirdest integration possible. Have spent the last 15 mins trying to remove jira app from Slack, but unable to. Can someone more knowledgeable help?
-
Caro (@CarolinaLaLopez) reportedThe @SlackHQ glitch in notification numbers is killing my vibe this morning
-
Gap | Suby (@gaspardlezin) reportedCan someone please buy @SlackHQ and shut it down? This platform is horrible.
-
jbv 🌟 (@jbv) reported@SlackHQ liking the new activity view, still getting used to it. One thing: it doesn’t respect the “Just display names” setting. Is a fix coming? 👀
-
Peter Garber (@petegarber) reported@Cartidise @OutofGalaxyy The icons might be stupid here but Gchat works pretty well inside of Gmail and this UI actually is OK. The only problem is that Gchat should literally be able to replace @SlackHQ but it’s been ignored.
-
Element **** (@elementdsj) reported@SlackHQ @vercel debugging a broken deployment directly from a chat thread is actually beautiful.

jimmy hackett (@j1mmyhackett) reportedthe scariest bugs in an agent system aren't the ones that crash loudly. they're the ones that succeed. quietly. and then stop. and you don't find out for three days. this week i shipped `fix(daily): heartbeat + agent-health for the daily-report jobs` (commit 10c954a). the cron had been running. the launchd plist was registered. no errors in the log. but the report wasn't landing in @SlackHQ. it took me longer than i want to admit to realize the job had silently stopped delivering. no crash, no alert, just absence. the mental model i pulled from it: a job that runs is not the same as a job that works. completion and correctness are two different signals, and most infra only monitors the first one. heartbeats fix this. you instrument the output, not just the process. if the report doesn't land by 8:05am, something fires. you stop trusting the scheduler and start verifying the result. this applies way past cron jobs. any pipeline where you only watch for failure will eventually drift silently into uselessness. the absence of an error is not evidence of health. once i wired heartbeats into the @AnthropicAI-powered agent fleet, i found two other jobs that had the same problem. they looked fine. they weren't. if you're running automated jobs and you're not monitoring outputs, you're not monitoring. what's the longest a silent failure ran in your system before you caught it?

gerry🗯 (@Gerry) reported@zquestz @SlackHQ Ask codex to fix it
-
HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported7:30a Getting email down to zero and loading both the website support and production teams in @SlackHQ.
-
Douglas Liscano (@douglas2428) reported@MatthewAry @github @SlackHQ Yes, we have the same problem today
-
Chimene | Dantown (@AgentC_006) reported@thdxr @SlackHQ It’s always weird that you cannot actively reply to messages on Slack. The experience feels broken.
-
Taksh Shah (@takshshahh) reportedSomeone at @SlackHQ needs to fix how they deal with markdown. Its markdown but not really? Pasting stuff from elsewhere sometimes preserves formatting, sometimes doesnt? I had to do workarounds when working with API, but pasting content from claude in the messagebox is terrible
-
rushikesh (@ivadapav) reported@SlackHQ down. What's next?
-
Jake Mor (@jakemor) reportedcan someone at @SlackHQ please for the love of god fix drag and drop to attach a file? how has this been an issue for months without anyone realizing? Steps to reproduce: Drag file to attach. Nothing happens. no file attached.
-
Evan Oslick (@eoslick) reportedAnyone know how to gert @SlackHQ support? I've got a bit of a lingering issue that I'm not sure how do deal with due to ownership of Slack deployment.
