    @SlackHQ there’s a widespread issue with slack today. Not sure about Mac but my entire team with windows seems to be impacted. Slack becomes irresponsive on windows a few minutes in. Tried ‘repair’ and force close, but no help there. We are using app in our phones to communicate.

    @karrisaarinen @SlackHQ Hey @karrisaarinen are the new project slack channels scoped to just that project I.e if you use the Linear slack bot in the channel will it only have access to issues and data from that project? I found that to be an issue a couple of months ago that the bot wasn’t able to be scoped down? Or was this a skill issue on my end

    Can someone please buy @SlackHQ and shut it down? This platform is horrible.

    @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.

    @BarknTuncer @SlackHQ yeah notification sync issues are still surprisingly common

    Friday 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.

    @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.

  • YouPulseX
    Paul Sant · Telecodex (@YouPulseX) reported

    @pizzaboy @karrisaarinen @SlackHQ Then "project channel" is a default, not a scope. The issue list command still follows the caller's workspace visibility.

  • dbrogdon
    Darrell Brogdon (@dbrogdon) reported

    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.

  • sbilstein

    @evisdrenova hmm kinda like Kaniko caching locally, but I think the problem is that the industry has broadly gotten used to very slow deploy pipelines. Back when I was at @SlackHQ in like 2018, we used to SCP the monolith across the fleet and deploy in a couple minutes. Containerization is awesome for various reasons but it has gotten an entire generation of developers to just expect builds + deploys to take at least 15 and usually closer to 45. I do wonder how much perf you could squeeze out with replacing BuildKit but I imagine it's already highly optimized. I just *feel* like developers shouldn't have to think so much about why their builds are slow.

    @SlackHQ @notion the only repetitive question saved here that matters is 'is the otp service still down.' second only to 'is the otp service still down for everyone or just me'

  • MohammadRoman8
    Mohammad Romman (@MohammadRoman8) reported

    @SlackHQ are you guys shutting down? It’s been more than a week I’ve been contacting you guys. Support isn’t responding at all

  • tulumpo
    tulumpo (@tulumpo) reported

    $IOND still in pre-launch. second delay message, 10:31 and now 10:39. this is normal. "All NASDAQ systems are fully operational" is in the message. nothing is broken. direct listings open when price discovery settles, not on a clock. @coinbase, @SlackHQ and @Spotify all opened late too.

    @RTFern @SlackHQ Sorry about that, Ryan! I work at slack. Tell me more about what’s not working for you?

  • karrisaarinen
    Karri Saarinen (@karrisaarinen) reported

    @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.

    @thdxr @SlackHQ It’s always weird that you cannot actively reply to messages on Slack. The experience feels broken.

  • the_mewc

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

  • karrisaarinen
    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

  • j1mmyhackett
    jimmy hackett (@j1mmyhackett) reported

    the most dangerous bug isn't the one that crashes. it's the one that says 'all good' when it isn't. i had a checker that was supposed to flag a problem. it was reporting green. every single run. turns out it was checking the documentation of the thing it was hunting, not the thing itself. so whenever the problem existed and was documented, the checker saw the doc, said 'found it, it's tracked', and moved on. confident. wrong. this happened twice in the same week in two different places. a report card that shipped one of its four answers unconditionally regardless of the actual data. a monitor that was asserting schema state it had never actually read. both passed. both lied. the lesson i keep relearning: a check that can't fail toward a confident opposite is not a check. it's a placebo. the question isn't 'does this run without error.' the question is 'what would this have to see to fire, and can it actually see that thing.' if the answer to 'can it see it' is 'well, kind of, it reads the notes about it'. you don't have a checker. you have a script that reads its own homework. @SlackHQ kept posting green cards. @AnthropicAI's Claude Code kept summarising them as healthy. everything looked fine. nothing was. what's the quietest false-green you've shipped?

    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

    @NebulaAI @safizaq @SlackHQ discord integration is kinda broken, like i keep having "nebula" links showing, if you can fix that, that will be perfect.

    @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?
