It's not buggy like at all. And afaiu the security stuff has solutions that just aren't default (passwords, SSO)

At my current job, It's where pretty much all information about our project gets disseminated so without it, we'd be feeling around blind. Any priority changes; changes which might not be well defined in the wires or stories; deadlines; information about meetings with the clients. It's also the place where the dev team, design, and QA touch base so if an issue comes up where there are pieces missing in the wires or Q…

Asynchronous communication--Slack, Discord, Teams, etc.--beats this every time. Why wait an entire day to bring up important topics? And then, if you aren't waiting an entire day, why have the artificial morning ceremony?

I love chat rooms, but they are their own kind of interruption and you can often communicate more in 2 minutes of conversation than in 45 minutes of back and forth on slack. And again, there are benefits to knowing when important things are going to be discussed and planning around that rather than have them happen at random in Slack.

Oh that's unfortunate. It was a post providing proof & explaining that Zoom engineers set up an internal website to monitor certain people's zoom meetings, specifically women who were doing sexual things. I wonder why it got removed, it provided DNS registrar history evidence so it wasn't just hearsay.
