Slack’s new WYSIWYG input box is terrible

Funnily enough I was hired on a 12 month contract as a software developer.

Four months into that contract I was moved over to a struggling 'Slack' enabled project, to help them work through their ever growing backlog.

I knew someone working on that project and discussed with them the project's use of Slack only to realise it was nothing more than a talk fest and not for me.

So when the project manager approached me, asking if I would like to join in on the Slack discussions, I declined.

Needless to say that did no go down so well.

However, I stuck to my guns and 12 months on my contract was renewed.

To this day Slack is still not part of my daily development life.

99% of the time, Slack is nothing more but a glorified, shitty messaging client. And most people I know don't even know why they're using slack, it's just that it's the tool they think everybody uses, and they don't really see why they should look elsewhere.
