Dev tools, sure. Self-selecting yourself out of the office/email toolset used by 90% of companies seems like a weird flex.

Slack is an unintuitive piece of junk, and yes I will die on this hill.

> When expressed in constant 2019 dollars, the average price of electricity in the United States fell from $4.79 per kilowatt-hour in 1902 (the first year for which the national mean is available) to 32 cents in 1950. https://spectrum.ieee.org/electricity-its-wonderfully-afford... $0.32 is $0.41 accoreit BLS, which is less than I'm paying today (I live somewhere with expensive electricity), so I'd enjoy the discount…

As usual with all these types of posts, people go "HA HA, MICRO$OFT SUCKS" without understanding business practices that keep them afloat. Don't use Exchange? Cool, what should we use instead? Does it support 15 people all the way up to 150000 people? I used to run Exchange cluster for 70k people, is there other mail software out there complete with non-shared disk redundancy?
