The main thing I want is pipelines - review apps, staging apps, and promotion to production, all integrated closely with GitHub, along with a slack integration that lets me do all of it in a public chatroom.

Until another service has all of this, we’re sticking with Heroku.

I get the intention with Slack. I’ve never understood, except for the geek cred, pushing work into chat services. Github is open to the team too.

I hear complaints about chat distractions and see engineers create those distractions. I’m at a loss why we want to do that to ourselves?

Nevermind it’s one more pipeline for messages to lost in. It’s needless complexity and configuration too.

I'd never, ever go back to working without chat.

We've switched to Discord (because reasons. Slack is much better for work though) and I rewrote a bunch of Slack hooks to get Dicord notifications.

People will complain no matter what.
