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?

Rob Swift (@RobSwish) reported@AgentAkki @SlackHQ Restarting doesn't help, and I mentioned this in the dms, it seems so weird to basically have 2 dm lists.
-
Salman (@m_salman_afzal) reported@SlackHQ But whether they decide to act on it will depend how much they prioritize the issue. And this is what open source could become as well. We can only report but only their agent factories can now contribute. So, it kind of is closed source since no one is now reading the 100k loc

HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported8:30a Back at my desk, loading the team up in @SlackHQ with today's assignment, getting eMail down to zero.
-
Bhuvanesh Sridharan (@_bhuvanesh_) reportedas 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.

Assaf Kipnis (@Kipnis_a) reportedClaude is the best corporate CYA buddy I used to have full CYA files with records of messages, emails and things I did - I was terrible at keeping those and people took advantage of that. With Claude and @meetgranola - I have canonical record of all conversations, @SlackHQ messages, emails, canonical decisions - everything Oh, you say I didnt do something? I didnt respond? Here come the receipts

LoopGantt (@loopgantt) reported@NotionHQ @SlackHQ Channel-scoped agents fix the biggest AI rollout blocker — broad access feels risky to admins. Smart default.
-
Caro (@CarolinaLaLopez) reportedThe @SlackHQ glitch in notification numbers is killing my vibe this morning
-
Gustaf Alströmer (@gustaf) reported@karrisaarinen @ycombinator @SlackHQ I'm experiencing reliability issues with Slack. Message's aren't sent. Messages can't be deleted. App not loading properly. I haven't had any of those issues with Whatsapp ever to be honest. Messages on iPhone is even worse. It's nearly unusable for me.

Jide (@rhymezx_code) reported@SlackHQ Tell me why Slack desktop is not working on Ubuntu 26.04 ( Resolute Raccoon ) ??? Honestly i have tried o #Ubuntu
-
Gap | Suby (@gaspardlezin) reportedCan someone please buy @SlackHQ and shut it down? This platform is horrible.
-
Jori Lallo (@jorilallo) reported@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

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.

Alex Oppenheimer (@Alexoppenheimer) reported@SlackHQ I can't login to even contact support. I am in an infinite 2FA loop. And I am being overcharged. Needless to say, I am not happy.
-
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

Rodrigo Berriel (@rodrigoberriel) reported@thdxr @SlackHQ unbelievable right? terrible ux

𝐎𝐧𝐞𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐞𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐞(👑,👑) (@OneTrueHomie) reportedisn't this the same problem @PromptQL promised @sama in order to kill @SlackHQ ?
-
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?

gerry🗯 (@Gerry) reported@zquestz @SlackHQ Ask codex to fix it

Element **** (@elementdsj) reported@SlackHQ @vercel debugging a broken deployment directly from a chat thread is actually beautiful.
-
Brandon Karl Webster (@bkwebster) reported@adilmania @SlackHQ Better alternatives exist - it’s used abundantly because of the mindshare and scale. The only replacement would be a totally new and obvious form factor that leads to the same outcome in a better way - not a better alternative to the same problem.

Uday Subbarayan (@udaysubbarayan) reported@SlackHQ Pl don’t hide the URL’s. Your recent overdoing here is creating problems Thanks

Conor Bronsdon (@ConorBronsdon) reported.@SlackHQ is building for multiplayer AI: tag a coding agent into a Slack conversation and it spins up a coding channel: everyone in that convo gets a live dev environment, diffs post as artifacts, and the channel winds down when the task is done. With the launch of Slack Code, Claudeforce, their MCP and more, Slack is putting Agents in the channels where teams already work, not simply in a private chat with one person. Their position is that the whole team should be able to watch, steer, and review what the agent does. Slack Chief Product Officer Jaime DeLanghe joined me on @chain_ofthought to explain how Slack is building a team AI environment, what happens mechanically when a code channel is created, why Anthropic pushes so much of its code through Slack, how the channel permission model became the agent context model, and what has to change in engineering culture when the whole team is steering one agent. I think Slack is the platform best positioned to become the context harness where enterprise agents run: agents that see what the team discusses, permissions that already exist, and a cultural opportunity hiding inside every multiplayer coding session.

Travis Peters (@SivvyRat) reported@SlackHQ You have no way to provide feedback within your app so... your snap installer has major issues.

Violeta Poole (@PooleViole45138) reported@dabit3 @SlackHQ Building software entirely inside Slack sounds like a recipe for turning every bug fix into a group chat debate.

Gary McMillian (@GaryMcMillianTX) reported@SlackHQ You need to fix your search before moving on to AI.

Theodor Marcu (@theodormarcu) reportedPutting 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.
