Slack is pretty poo poo, but the fact that it can't exist in more than one loving window is beyond a joke. Trying to piece together information from more than one message is a nightmare. Slack UX is dogshit phone-tier garbage.

Maybe you should upgrade to a browser made in the last 20 years? It's a pretty standard feature these days.

This is a really great way to stunt your professional development and stagnate. If you're early in your career you could be costing yourself a ton over the rest of it. Maybe it's the right call for you, but stopping learning can be a trap it's hard to get yourself out of it you ever want to.

Yeah I was joking around about not doing any work but really I use a lot of downtime to learn new poo poo that's got my eye. I really do gently caress around a lot too though. Everyone should. 40 hour work week my rear end (I won't work 40 hours)

Lol no it isn’t and if they are happy with his work output why the gently caress should he do more?

If you want to manage more browser tabs for your Slack workspaces then I won't stop you, I don't mind the desktop app and even being an Electron app it's not destroying my memory like Discord is for example.

Sounds like a pain in the rear end.

You can just make a separate window. You know, exactly like you would if you had it in its own off-label instance of Chrome, but you still have all the features like being able to make more tabs.

For me, a browser is for looking stuff up, reading news, things that are transient. I’ll browse the headlines and open each article in a new tab, or search for something and open the results I want to look at in new tabs. Then those tabs close and the browser closes. For something that is going to run continuously then it needs to be a separate app which has its own taskbar button and doesn’t get lost amongst all the other browser tabs. If something isn’t available as an app then I’ll do the browser app thing so it can still get its own taskbar button and live outside the browser, even though it’s still a browser process.

You didn't discover that engineers are incompetent and/or stupid just by working in development?

The company I work at has a three month window and we have to follow SoC, so I would imagine that would be fine.

My favorite new bot is the Notion bot that pings a channel whenever anyone makes an edit to a file, no matter how miniscule. One of the PM's for one of the companies I work with loves Notion and spends all day editing files, so you can imagine the results.

Always fun when someone with the job title that denotes them as a senior web application developer asks what cascading style sheets are. It then turns out that this multi billion dollar company that sells itself as a tech company just copied and pasted all their styles inline from a wiki page rather than making a css library for their applications to share.

This forum is lagging behind the times if you can't just @channel and notify every person subscribed to the thread about your reply. Ideally it would send an email to anyone who has ever read it, but I'd settle for the former.

Anyone here broken into software dev more recently, or know someone who has? My wife keeps looking at my job with envy and I suggested she give coding a try and see what she thinks. I have no idea what the job market is like for juniors though. She'd definitely have to take a pay cut but she's been in marketing for almost 20 years and it's feeling like the job market there is really drying up and most of what's available either pays peanuts or is an absolute corporate hellscape job or both. I feel like maybe with the popularity of "just learn to code!" things won't be much better on the bottom rungs of software dev either though.
