Slack is the connective tissue for my team of 18 engineers. Signal-to-noise depends entirely on how disciplined channel ownership is, which is a culture problem, not a Slack problem, but worth flagging. What I love: clip recordings have replaced about a third of my meetings, and the GitHub integration means I see PR activity without context switching. What frustrates me: notification settings are buried in five different places, and getting a new hire's preferences dialled in takes 20 minutes of explanation. Search has improved dramatically over the past year. Workflow Builder is more capable than it gets credit for - we automated standup reminders and on-call handoffs without writing code. Per-seat pricing at our size is meaningful but I can't see us moving.
