Slack messages are annoying, mostly go unread. Slack has no way of prioritizing or organizing itself. I've become more and more disaffected by Slack over time as a way of doing work. Instead, I prefer these other ways of async work, where it's tracked more permanently, and the tooling is built for a certain type of interaction. I view slack as work social media, a kind of ephemeral place or community. A place, at most, to share an idea with no commitment to get a response.

I don't expect Slack to work well when...

I have a half-formed thought / brainstorm, and I want to "get it down", and need to "work it out". Don't put it on slack, that'll distract everyone, and probably be misunderstood anyway.
- Put it in your notetaking system (like logseq) until its fully formed, then get it in a google doc for more feedback
I have a more fully-formed thought / idea / brainstorm and wish to share it with the team or an individual
Write a short google doc and put that in slack asking for f

I am working on a project contemplating the best use of notebooks in our search relevance workflow. We're a cross-disciplinary team of software engineers and data scientists. Recently, to decide best practices, I watched the two famous talks I don't like Notebooks by Joel Grus and I like notebooks by nbdev creator Jeremy Howard. As a senior dev, I want to have opinions for how my team should develop both the notebooks and any underlying libraries.

Positive things about nbdev and notebooks

Writing docs leads to better code - I have written better code when I know its being consumed as documentation by others, and needs to be read. I fully agree with the amazing feedback loop between writing and coding that creates much better libraries
Jupyter as a dev env - For some people, Jupyter is their preferred dev environment, and should be supported as such.
Philosophy - I generally agree with the philo
