if i’m being perfectly honest, email is still an exceedingly useful async communication medium. I actually still get a pretty decent amount of freelance work done via email.

Slack is the worst thing that ever happened to async communication and productivity. I hate it with every cell in my body.
Love slack. Love jumping on quick huddles to explain stuff way quicker and better during screenshare and to collaborate. No need to set up a whole G Meeting. No way I'll go back to writing long emails, if I can achieve same with few chats and a team huddle in 10 minutes.
I don’t like slack. It’s schizophrenic how people are supposed to do focused work while at the same time being flooded with channels and messages. I like the idea of relying on email and ignoring slack messages unless you’re tagged.
