    @gustaf @ycombinator @SlackHQ I’d say Slack. Haven’t really experienced those issues you mention. Unless my internet is very bad. iMessage/whatsapp overly phone and counterparty focused so I’m more often wondering if the message actually got delivered or not and if the problem is me or them. Slack is more of a server and it doesn’t send the message if it doesn’t work.

    i shipped a report that posted a PDF to @SlackHQ with buttons to approve or flag it. worked great in testing. turns out every single report was re-sharing the exact same file. Next.js had cached the upload URL on the first request and just kept reusing it. so every property got the same PDF. same charts. same data. looked fine in the message. was completely wrong. the fix was straightforward once i saw it. but i only saw it because i added logging on the upload path and watched what Slack was actually returning. without that i would have kept assuming the reports were right. this is the thing that keeps biting me. i build something, it posts, the message looks correct, and i ship it. but "the message looks correct" is not the same as "the data is correct". i need the system to surface the difference, not just tell me a message was sent. the reports now work the way they were supposed to. one message per property, each with its own PDF, two models reading it and leaving grades in the thread. the buttons are how you reply to the report, not how you open it. but i almost shipped a monitoring system that was monitoring nothing. it was just confidently showing me the same snapshot on repeat. what is the dumbest caching bug you have hit in ****?

    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.

    .@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.

    It is very obvious that @SlackHQ does absolutely zero QA testing on Linux. You would think they would at least do a basic sanity test. Latest release has a completely broken system tray, and broken desktop icon. Glad I hardly use this crap anymore.

    @SlackHQ The new Activity view is an amazing improvement. One thing that would make it better: the same thread can appear multiple times (for example the original post and a reply). It would help to allow deduplicating threads from the list.

    @gustaf @SlackHQ Reliability is the floor, not the ceiling. Slack hit the floor and is now adding notification noise to mask it — classic engagement-metric trap. The deeper issue: messaging apps stopped being where work happens and became where work gets talked about. That's the gap worth solving.

    @SlackHQ @stewart Stewart Butterfield and his team were developing a game called "Glitch" in 2011 The Glitch was an ambitious and creative multiplayer game, but it struggled to find a large enough playerbase. They had to shut it down on 2012

    the 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?

    . @SlackHQ slack gets a lot of things right, but the iOS app’s search functionality is very bad. Can I please chat with someone who can then hopefully fix it?

    @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?

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

    @karrisaarinen @SlackHQ The handoff from Slack discussion to actual tracked issue is where most teams drop the ball - keeping that loop tight is harder than it sounds.

    @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?
