I hate Slack. Unlike IRC, it is too much. And it is thick.

Many do not though, your point is good.

I love email because I rarely have to think about it. Thought is action. Same with IRC.

Like, to be fair: Many people don’t know how lean and thin IRC is, they are just happy that they get flexible channels for group communication.

But those who know, know.

I also feel like I dug in to the original code for Slack and it literally was an IRC client.
