Slack is different. Being always-up-and-always-on, it keeps the state of a conversation saved and searchable, so you can go back to any message, at any point in time. This has changed the way our team conversations look like. From heavy-boilerplate dialogs, to something that resembles a single, continuous thought, gradually being developed over time. No additional ceremony, no going back and forth. Just that, a directed thought flow, starting from a single idea, and developing over time. No wonder why agile teams like ours, previously appalled by the idea of spending time writing memos, dev logs, reports, using project management tools, etc, so happily adopted Slack....
