Coincidentally, I was just listening a podcast episode with the creator of Level (https://level.app/), which was built to fix exactly all these issues mentioned in the article. I agree 100% with this - the culture of ASAP and the FOMO that's created if you're not always on Slack, prevents one from doing deep, meaningful work. I'm really looking forward to trying out Level.

We're currently using Level now and it's definitely different from Slack. I think the biggest issue we have with it at this point is that it's still in active development.
It's also missing a lot of things that you take for granted with Slack. Things like auto-link expansion and third-party integrations of any kind.
