Just had a brilliant idea:

Why not write a #love story with the help of #AI? #ChatGPT and #Midjourney were my trusty companions, doing most of the heavy lifting while I enjoyed the title of 'Mastermind Behind the Idea'.

What do you think?

@trq212 How do you get feedback on such html from colleagues if it's like a rfc, prd, spec etc? Any thoughts on that? I want in line feed back and ability to not having to ping pong files back

@Elica_India I've been complaining about replacement for Elica Microwave not working due to fuse issue for 3 weeks. Every day I am calling and still not resolved. Customer support is really lazy and has no urgency to resolve this issue. Can you please reach out to me?

[Mayank Jain @firesofmay]

@noahzweben Looping to fetch meeting transcripts every hour and generate insights from it to be posted on a dedicated slack channel and tagging relevant folks on each insight

[Mayank Jain @firesofmay]

Highly recommend joining Manas and his team!

@adocomplete Never mind. Ctrl+e shows history. Found out today. Wasn't obvious

[Mayank Jain @firesofmay]

@adocomplete When I run compaction, why do I loose terminal history? Ability to see past discussions still is imp at times. Does it rely on terminal output history and hence it has to compact that?

Claude is built to be a genuinely helpful assistant for work and for deep thinking.

Advertising would be incompatible with that vision.

@ChanduThota @itsryandrake @petergyang Me too. I have the same issue

@calcsam Book

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

I work at Slack.

We tell employees their DMs are private.

And they are.

Mostly.

Look, when we say "private" we mean private between you and the person you're messaging.

And your admin.

And HR.

And legal.

And whatever compliance tool your company bought.

And the export logs.

And the backup systems.

And anyone with a court order.

But other than that, totally private.

We're very clear about this in our documentation.

Page 47.

Section 12.

Subsection C.

Paragraph 8.

The part nobody reads before they trash-talk their manager at 11pm.

Here's what employees don't understand.

When you delete a message, you're just deleting it from your view.

The message still exists.

In exports.

In backups.

In the retention policy.

It's like closing your eyes and thinking you're invisible.

The data belongs to the company, not you.

We say this right in our terms.

Workspace owners control everything.

They decide how long messages are stored.

Sometimes it's 30 days.

Sometimes it's forever.

Hope you didn't say anything spicy in 2019.

Enterprise customers get extra features.

Full message exports.

Metadata tracking.

Who messaged whom.

When.

How often.

Communication patterns.

It's for "compliance."

It's for "legal needs."

It's for "regulatory requirements."

It's definitely not for micromanagement.

We're very careful to explain that admins can't see messages in real-time.

They have to formally request an export.

Fill out some forms.

Click some buttons.

Maybe wait an hour.

Very high barrier.

Almost impossible to abuse.

The key takeaway is simple.

Treat Slack like work email.

Not like WhatsApp.

Not like Signal.

Just because it looks like a chat app doesn't mean it works like one.

If a message could cause trouble when HR reads it, don't send it.

This is empowering employees with knowledge.

If you wouldn't say it in the break room with your manager behind you, don't type it in Slack.

That's privacy.

Informed privacy.

Enterprise-grade informed privacy.

@kevinyien This is great workflow. No wonder why it looks so good!

[Mayank Jain @firesofmay]

@alexalbert__ Finally

@charliedeets @diabrowser @adamstern_ Awesome work! Any chance of bringing back folders? As there is always a cross between hey I don't need these 5 tabs always but when I do, i need them quickly. So it's somewhere between pinned tabs and bookmarks use case

[Mayank Jain @firesofmay]

@charliedeets @martin_buur @jamiebrown_6 @diabrowser @adamstern_ No no please don't do this as default. Pinned tabs should be able to navigate via cmd+1 etc. We already have bookmarks in Arc so this works great

✨New launch: I’m starting a new weekend-only product strategy accelerator for growth-stage founders.

Based on feedback from 100+ founders in my Product Sense course who called out the need for a practical strategy-focused program for founders.

@dariusdan @T_Zahil And folders. Need folders!

[Mayank Jain @firesofmay]

@joshm @ridd_design @MaximillianNYC How do i do next tab then? It's so annoying because of muscle memory. I literally changed it back using mac app shortcuts.

[Mayank Jain @firesofmay]

@DerekNee Code?
