  @daniielezeh @SlackHQ Bruhhh, valid question 😭 I've been having issues with the ******* video playback. I didn't even know it was possible to have worse video playback than twitter.

  Yesterday I signed up for a service. Today, all my @SlackHQ had a notification asking if I wanted to connect some bot of that service to my Slack accounts. One thing has nothing to do with the other, as far as I'm concern. If this keeps up, I'll delete all of my Slack accounts.

  @MadronaVentures @SlackHQ @salesforce Should we expect investment & AI to be doubling down on the green economy now that no one credible is promoting the fossil fuel/engineered obsolescence economies to be sustainable or even beneficial?

  @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?

  @SlackHQ slack huddles has had video audio sync issues since it’s been launched. Please deploy at least 7 agents to fix this immediately.

  @SlackHQ lots of bugs and issues right now. Can't create channels and lots of jankyness. This release is a lot.

  Putting an agent in Slack creates a very different UX problem: it has to know when to shut up We spent a lot of time tuning when Devin should speak, stay quiet, or move work into a separate channel. Devin was the first agent to support Slack natively, so it was great to bring 2 years of those learnings to @SlackHQ for the Slack Code launch.

  as much hate @MicrosoftTeams gets, at least the meeting chat and other chats are on the same platform. Absence of synergy between @SlackHQ chat and Google meet is such a pet peeve. Non issue in grand scheme but still bothering whenever people send links in gmeet.

  .@SlackHQ this message pops whenever i try to do any navigation. persists across restarts. also please fix the search results ↓ keypress issue, the first ↓ is being eaten by the system so when I am moving fast I am constantly going to the wrong place you need to make sure bugs like this dont continue, you have serious competition coming that is going to take business from you if you continue to let your product rot.

  @johnbarker @SlackHQ Doesn't feel like they are. We've had a bunch of pre-existing issues for a while now (I replied to the other fella in the tweet with examples).

  @karrisaarinen @SlackHQ Did Linear do this before agents? I tried project-level Slack channels at my org and found it works for enterprise engagements nicely, but breaks down at feature/epic level projects for our SaaS. There's a granularity sweet spot, too fine and context switching costs spike. Too coarse and projects blur. Plus no project is actually isolated in small teams, so cross-project conversations forced more people onto each channel and productive engagement suffered. I get the AI context-confinement angle, but curious what other benefits you're seeing?

  @pizzaboy @karrisaarinen @SlackHQ It's still the same agent with capability to access everything as the caller user can. If you're calling it in the channel, it has that as context so it will file issue into the project by default and answer questions about the project without you needing to name it separately. If there's situatons where it's not working as intended, would love to get screenshots

  @hugorcd @SlackHQ @github It has been broken for so long they probably think it's a feature internally

  @Yonar87 @SlackHQ same issue here. Just sent them an email. Their status landing page says they've been 100% find this quarter which makes me think maybe they just don't update that page?

  @dabit3 @SlackHQ Building software entirely inside Slack sounds like a recipe for turning every bug fix into a group chat debate.

  .@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?

  liking the new slack activity view—still getting used to it. One thing: it doesn’t respect the “Just display names” setting. Is a fix coming? 👀 @SlackHQ

  @SlackHQ You have no way to provide feedback within your app so... your snap installer has major issues.

  @Shopify @klaviyo @SlackHQ The Non-Technical Technical Dictionary, Day 2: Frontend & Backend Every app has a front of house and a back of house. Same as a restaurant. The frontend is what you see and touch. Think of Amazon, or any website you use. → The menu bar, the buttons, the search box. Everything on screen is just a list of things you're allowed to ask for. That's the menu, the dining room, the host stand. But nothing on that menu is actually happening at your table. When you hit "Buy Now," it's like placing an order with a waiter. He walks it back, the kitchen cooks it, and he brings it out when it's ready. The backend = the kitchen. You'll find database, business logic, server. Anything heavy (pulling your order history, processing a payment, sending an email) happens back there. The frontend only handles what fits at the table: how the buttons look, what color the page is, the small animations etc. Think Michelin star. They're not torching your steak tableside. They need the walk-in, the grill, the prep station, the sous chef. Software is the same. The interesting work needs the full kitchen. When a service like Cloudflare or AWS goes down and takes half the internet with it, that's a backend problem. The ghost kitchen caught fire and every restaurant relying on it went dark. A frontend problem is the one you've seen a hundred times: a button that won't click, text piled on top of an image, a page that looks broken on your phone. Frontend is form, where backend is function.
