Time S Nick Message
00:51 pdurbin raucao: it's a good article (not done yet) but this does not resonate with me when it comes to IRC:
00:51 pdurbin 'Some of the digital platforms I used were inherently “real time” (phone, Skype, IRC, Google Hangouts, etc.), where there was a built-in expectation of an immediate, rapid-fire conversation wherein everyone involved was more or less fully-present and participating.'
00:52 raucao same here
00:53 raucao i think it's a bit of a shortcut to throw all these together there. because the topic is a bit more complex than the article's argument
00:54 pdurbin don't get me wrong, I'm on board with the article in general
00:54 pdurbin bear dotplus prologic sivoais: please read https://medium.com/better-people/slack-i-m-breaking-up-with-you-54600ace03ea
00:56 pdurbin I'm not bothered by this, though: "Will they respond in 5 seconds or 5 hours? Who knows!" I love this about IRC. :)
00:57 pdurbin raucao: I'd be interested to hear what you think about https://hbr.org/2016/02/a-modest-proposal-eliminate-email
00:58 raucao saved for later
00:59 pdurbin cool
00:59 raucao initial thought: whenever i read an article about getting rid of email it's usually the same "let's all use some proprietary platform and/or open-source product" kind of thing
00:59 raucao email is still alive because it's a protocol that anyone can use/implement
00:59 pdurbin nah. this is more like "everyone should hold office hours" :)
01:00 raucao i think we can all agree it's pretty damn hard to kill it :)
01:00 pdurbin which is weird and probably wouldn't work. the author doesn't indicate it's even been tried yet
01:01 raucao i like office hours
01:01 raucao on irc :D
01:01 pdurbin :)
01:02 pdurbin finished the article. it was ok. got me thinking at least
01:10 pdurbin at http://a16z.com/2016/01/13/nobody-discusses-work-software-outside-of-work-and-then-theres-slack/ the CEO of Slack seemed to say that Slack only works if everyone within a company adopts it
13:43 dotplus raucao: yes, you did. achronous was mine. Actually I don't exactly agree; I think "asynchronish" could be another useful neologism, closer to "nearly (a)synchronous", but by "achronous" I meant *deliberately unconcerned* about the delivery/reading schedule - as in "I post a message now and I'm happy for you or anyone else to read it now or a day/month/year/decade from now"
13:48 dotplus I will read both those articles and comment back here if they stimulate me to openkot-relevant thoughts.
