A loveable software to transact internal communication, and also Ingrid’s natural habitat.
Each project has its own slack channel, but we have a lot more to discuss many different topics.
Some of our most important channels:
#noise: everything that is not work-related: music, events, food ordering, random cat videos
#general: public announcements. Module updates, traffic information (like: “the train is late, I’ll be late from standup.”), cleaning the fridge, questions starting like: “Does anyone have the same problem with…”
#keepitalive: is responsible for protecting the flora in the office. If our plants are thirsty, a chatbot reminds us, and also says thank you when the moisture level is optimal again.
#thanks: this is the channel where we express our gratitude for someone’s help. Ingrid counts everyone’s karma: you can easily ask her with a command, she is the most helpful within IV.
