Somehow I was hopeful that this would be an announcement about adding syntax highlighted code blocks to Slack messages.

Given that like omnigent and qm already integrate with Slack, it's not a huge surprise that Slack is building agent capabilities directly in.

Personally, I'm getting ecosystem fatigue. Who even has the time to set up pilots to feature-test all these different systems?

Is this basically trying to do something similar to Zed's https://delta.dev/, but from Slack instead of an IDE?

I imagine they smushed 2 of the most well-known AI-isms together on purpose here to troll the AI-weary. Might as well I guess, if this type of language annoys you then the whole feature probably will too.

At this point I literally have no idea what modern coding is supposed to look like. I still open my editor, type stuff in and run make. All these tools are released daily and they just fly over my caveman head.
