There are a lot of people who complain that everything is moving too fast and we're all too attached to these messaging systems and we can't keep up with everything and it's making us crazy and we all spend time in Slack instead of actually doing our jobs. And there's just no indication that that's going back.

You could actually make the case that email represents a much saner, more functional way to run a business than inside of Slack. But like, do you want to go back to email? I don't really want to go back to email. And so far, all we do is faster and bigger and more full of stuff. And we just kind of rely on people to solve it for themselves.

And when it looks lively all the time, which makes managers and bosses feel like things are happening and that feels good. Whereas if you don't hear from anybody for eight hours, you're like, is everybody working? What's everybody doing?
