Programmer Humor

I was trying to also communicate cheekily, also in my case to reinforce the stark difference in our experiences. I understood you.

I can relate to a few points you are making to some degree. I think my view of slack is largely shaped by having to use Skype and then hipchat for a company I used to work for. Both of those were absolutely shit. In fact if I just read your description of slack issues out of context, I might think you're talking about hipchat. That fucking thing was the worst I'd used at the time. It was common to not get notifications or messages and the UI was dog shit too. Slack kind of resolved all the issues I saw in hipchat and mostly improved over time. But clearly not everyone felt the same. I've never used Matrix, maybe someday I'll check it out.

We can agree on discord. Never for one moment have I understood the UI, and every time I used it I pretty much always had mic detection problems. And that was on Mac, windows, Linux, native, and web app (even when trying in various browsers).
