I miss email. Here's why I don't like Slack:
1. Conversations not organized by subject
2. Messages feel ephemeral, so everything feels urgent
3. Not easy to add new participants to an existing private conversation
4. Basically impossible to send someone a message without interrupting them

They called it the Great Depression, I don't think it was that great. People are saying my depression will be much greater. Some say it could even be the greatest depression. I don't know, we'll see. But it could be.
