while we are talking about adding integrations to slack can one of the mods take care of setting up this: https://ekmartin.com/2015/slack-irc/ (Bridging Slack & IRC). @gjnoonan @tcrawley

2016-01-08T02:01:11.003633Z

@johanatan: that looks handy! I'm not really an admin though, so I'll let @gjnoonan respond

2016-01-08T02:01:43.003634Z

I would like to have that functionality for #C0H28NMAS and #C085AR8RE though

johanatan 2016-01-08T02:01:54.003635Z

ya, i think it would be great to communicate with those luddites on IRC without having to actually use an IRC client

2016-01-08T02:02:46.003637Z

my take is the opposite, I'd much rather use my irc client for everything :)

johanatan 2016-01-08T02:04:00.003638Z

haha

johanatan 2016-01-08T02:04:02.003639Z

Luddite!

johanatan 2016-01-08T02:04:45.003640Z

I like the async nature of Slack more-- history accumulates while you're offline and you can catch up later on. The whole UX is just much better IMO

johanatan 2016-01-08T02:05:04.003641Z

I know you can set up these things for IRC too but it's too much work when Slack "just works"

2016-01-08T02:05:12.003642Z

unless there's more history than slack allows us

johanatan 2016-01-08T02:06:31.003643Z

ya, that does suck. But if you check in at least once or twice per week that doesn't happen

johanatan 2016-01-08T02:06:54.003644Z

In really chatty rooms though it can become burdensome to read every message

johanatan 2016-01-08T02:07:17.003645Z

Which is why smaller/specific topic rooms are generally more useful to me

if you could magically summon a programmer to work full time for a month on one open source clojure(script) library / plugin that you use, which would it be and why?

meow 2016-01-08T23:42:06.003679Z

@atroche: completely dependent on who that programmer would be. Are you offering or is this completely hypothetical and off topic?

atroche 2016-01-08T23:55:50.003681Z

pkobrien: i'm curious about the relationship between how heavily used a project is and how well it's maintained. perhaps a better way of phrasing the question would be: which library do you use that you wish were better maintained?

atroche 2016-01-08T23:57:20.003682Z

also, not sure what you mean by off-topic — does #C03RZGPG1 have a set topic?
