This new Slack design is infuriating. I mean, who the hell thought stacking notifications across all your Slacks was a good idea?

Again, this has design hero written all over it. Pixel-perfect comps drawn by a designer hero

From today forward, every time someone shares their ^+%#% Wordle thingy minus a content warning, I’m going to respond by sharing what I ate for breakfast. That feels like a proportionate response to me.
People mock me mercilessly for traveling with my own fussy, artisanal coffee and coffee rig with me when I travel. Decided to leave it home for a quick in-and-out trip to MSP -- and oh lord, am I regretting that decision. How do you people…
