I think we need to acknowledge that different people like solving problems in 
different ways - personally I prefer more interactive solving for example. 

Encouraging GitHub discussion is fine, but also there's some class of issues 
where I find a more real-time approach preferable (easier to ask clarifying 
questions, suggest extra debugging, quicker back and forth etc.)

Not sure what I'm suggesting, other than slack still has a place for me.
