first glance says it's worth reading carefully. second glance says "read this when I'm awake and not oncall". I suspect this is something that I want to bring up with our Director:) |

I was asked what I think about chat here: https://twitter.com/JeffSpies/status/708123813830119425 |

it has a lot of great points, some of them we are battling here - irc vs slack vs email; polling vs notifications |

Generally speaking, one must have discipline when in comes to chat, and email for that matter, especially when it comes to not letting it distract you. |

Don't let either one make you sweat. :) |

the hard part is guiding young folk thru the pain/learning process so they internalize that |

It takes discipline to not distract others with these tools either. |

So here's my question... are things better or worse in public? On a public mailing list with web archives or a chat room that has public online logs? Versus some internal list or chat inside a company's firewall? |

better in public - it's the knowledge that others outside of the "family" can see |

At least if Google and other search engines can index everything, you can find it again, link to it. |
