The problem with slack is that discussions are lost after you hit their limit (which wasn't terribly high last time I checked). So instead of finding / googling for an answer / question that had previously been covered, you must ask again, which is of course async and therefor more time consuming.
I don't mean to seem anti-social, but if I'm in the middle of solving a problem and run into an issue, I reach for Google way before I'd post on Slack. Slack just feels like a black hole where information goes to die. On Saturday, May 6, 2017 at 4:25:49 AM UTC-4, Noah Hall wrote: > > For contrast, consider the Elm community on Slack.
