Another community launch for the books! Thank you to everyone who came out, asked questions, & shared a slice w/ us. Interested in seeing one in person? Keep your eyes peeled for future community launches - coming to a flat piece of land near you ✨
Not a bird, not a plane, & definitely not a lost airpod. Come see a launch for yourself on Wednesday - lu.ma/s4cb49va
Use @zulip instead
The new @SlackHQ API rate limits are absolutely insane: For accessing messages, you can now only make 1 request per minute, with a maximum of 15 messages 🤯 And yes this applies to ALL apps, not just public ones. We can't build internal tools on our OWN data. @Benioff this is…

What a poor, depraved life for the 90% of startups that use slack. Break out. Use something opensource and host it yourself.

It remains to be seen if all my time spent writing python for LLM agents to automate things at my company is a nerd trap timewaste or the way to build the company of the future, but I'm all in
This is correct. I've become sold that Theo was a good and unbiased source for this stuff after his grok 4 video.
Harsh reality: It's never been worth moving off the most recent flavor of Claude for most practical work This may have changed with Grok 4 and Kimi specifically. Will report back.
New case study: How #zulip supports worldwide operations and AI development at @WindBorneWx. zulip.com/case-studies/w… “@SlackHQ and @discord just pale in comparison.” “How on earth would you not use Zulip?” #chat #OpenSource
love seeing balloons in the nyt and it not being about someone shooting one down
People need to just stop using slack, its a shit product through and through. 1. Horrible design paradigm with threads 2. Buggy 3. Goes down nontrivially often 4. Patheticly feature-poor (doesnt even do syntax highlighting???) Try a platform that actually understands parallel…
Slack bugs are everywhere AI QA should be smoke testing every clickable flow live every day and it would catch this For instance the Add button on a chat has been broken on iOS all week at least, probably longer. Can’t CC new people into an existing thread.
Few understand the level of automation going on deep in the innerworkings at WindBorne. We're on track for the board to fire me in 3 months as AGI takes command
things that weren't on my 2025 bingo card: getting expense reminders from a vibecoded tool that sounds exactly like the pirate from SpongeBob
