Once we all have swarms of agents working for us, we're going to want those agents to work together. That means we need a protocol for agents to communicate, right? Turns out we already have one: Slack. @profjoeyg and I break down why — despite the fact that it sounds crazy —

well the database I need is down again that's a perfectly good excuse to go home and slack off

Tbh if @salesforce doesn't allow @ChatGPTapp via Agent or Connectors to access @SlackHQ I'm shutting down my Business Slack account and moving everyone back to email. Not much less efficient tbh and the ability to pull and aggregate comprehensive context is worth a lot more.

Your website goes down at 3 AM, but your monitoring tool only checks every 15 minutes. That's 15 minutes of lost revenue and frustrated customers. Site Qwality monitors continuously with real-time alerts via SMS, email, and Slack. No waiting, no guessing.

Has anyone DIY made the transition from slack to teams using the migration instructions? (Using the Microsoft docs). I like slack but I can save a $2k a year switching from Google Workspace + Slack to Office365 and I keep just kicking the can down the road.

not even an outage is enough of an excuse to slack in gw

In 2017, a single typo brought down half the internet. AWS S3 went dark. Netflix, Slack, Quora, countless sites - all dead. The internet held its breath for 4 hours. The cause? An engineer typed the wrong number. Here's what happened: 1/4

Monday morning Slack outage just feels right

Slack went down again. Imagine being a messaging app with worse uptime than my unpaid homelab running on a Raspberry Pi.

Thank you Bell Canada for doing all you can. I’ve been your client for 15 years and this is my first outage. Rogers has outages very often. So let’s give Bell a little break. They’ve been providing us top service for years and deserve to be cut some slack! Take your time @bell
