  @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.

  @SlackHQ There seems to be a bug in your Version 4.50.140 app (Mac) where if you have open a New message and you try to then click in the Search bar, you can't – it just flashes. Can you please fix this. It's very annoying. Thanks!

  Slackbot legit might be one of my favorite uses of AI outside of coding. I use this thing constantly to find past conversations, summarize entire chats, help write responses, look for things I might be forgetting, or even look up past context on a decision or topic. Seriously @SlackHQ this legit improves my life

  @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.

  .@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?

  @SlackHQ the mobile app has significantly regressed. why do I have a DM tab and an activity tab that only lets me filter down to DMs again? I want to easily filter for mentions.

  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?

  @heyandras @SlackHQ I had the same issue, but it's like $3.50 or something per user a month - so for just me it was easier to pay it

  @SlackHQ Most AI agents fail because they’re written by bloated enterprise teams who don’t really know what problem they’re solving.

  [1/5] Your #brain cannot multithread. When you switch from writing code to answering a @SlackHQ ping, your prefrontal cortex doesn't execute a clean parallel jump - it triggers an expensive, messy tear-down and rebuild process. You are burning raw compute.

  . @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?

  @SlackHQ @linear @cursor_ai Slack is a garbage product. Everything about it is trash. The reliability is trash, the support is trash, and the way you handle users is absolute trash. Impressive how consistently terrible you manage to be.

  Someone 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

  @SlackHQ can you please revert your most recent update, it is so bad. This is terrible for anyone who is inbox 0. Please don't make me use Teams

  @samlambert @joshmgross It’s almost impossible to mention a bug in Slack and get anyone at @SlackHQ to fix it.

  @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

  There was Pay by Eye, by Ring, by Watch… time to Pay by Juice? 🧃💳 Okay, this one was just a joke created by Callum (FrostyTrollz). But 10 years ago, paying with your watch or ring also sounded ridiculous. A great example of how today’s joke can become tomorrow’s product is.. @SlackHQ The team behind Slack was actually building an online game called Glitch. As the founders later mentioned: “The game was absolutely preposterous.” Eventually, the game failed and was shut down. However, the internal chat tool they built to communicate became more valuable than the game itself. That tool became Slack, now used by millions of teams. 🌱 Follow for more wild growth-hacks
