Did we read the same article? This article had nothing do do with IRC knee-jerk reactionaries.

The author's main point is that Slack results in a walled garden and information silo'ing of our conversations.

The author then went on to provide a potential antidote to that problem by discussing a javascript project they been working on.

I should have made this clearer: I am not talking about the author of that blog post but rather of a subset of the tech community discussing slack's move and business model.

In other words, you set up a strawman.

Have you read any previous discussion om HN about slack? There are plenty of people holding views OP attacked, so hardly a strawman.
