Writing one sentence per line

Just please, for the love of god, don't do it in slack. Nothing annoys me more than a colleague writing a long slack message when I'm AFK, and having my watch buzz like an angry bee when they hit one carriage return (and send a new slack message) every 10 seconds.

You should really be angry at Slack and not your colleagues. There are loads of ways to prevent this like sending at most one alert per user per minute (if message is unread). It's not rocket science.

Most times when loads of people are "doing it wrong" then it's the technology that is at fault, and not the people.

Over the past year I’ve disabled all Slack notifications and the result is increased focus while I’m writing some code or an email. All the messages will be queued up regardless if I’m being notified (and disrupted) often. Perhaps give it a try!

Yes, I'm angry at slack. No other messaging system I've used does this..

Personally, I have mapped ’send’ to cmd+enter, to avoid accidentally sending too soon. Also, to make it behave similarly within a code block as without.

Joke's on you for connecting your watch to Slack.

Sadly, I have no choice. I have a Garmin connected to an iPhone. Even when I disable most notifications for an app, it will still hit my watch.

On Android, I could filter out which apps could notify the watch, on ios, it seems Garmin has not been able to do that.

One of the problems with Slack/Discord desktop clients is that the message area (center column) tends to be far too wide on HD monitors (1200px+), making it difficult to read[1] anything that hasn't been manually line-wrapped.
