A recruiter reached out to me about a role as a combination scrum master and engineering manager.

@anildash @FillinghamLydia @sarah_edo @spolsky I've seen the trend toward Slack among engineers, especially during the pandemic. But I've also seen non-urgent Slack notifications interrupt programming flow so many times I can't even begin to count them.
