Tools

We use three tools: Notion (hi!), Slack, and GitHub.

• Notion is for our Wiki and product management.
• GitHub is for our codebase.
• Slack is for everything else. It's the closest to real-time we have. You are safe checking this once a day, if not less.
  • Integrations are set up to notify you about all relevant activity in #engineering, #releases, and #infrastructure. 500 errors go to #errors (ignore if new).
    • #engineering: most important channel to join and keep track of. where we chatter!
    • #infrastructure: where engineers chatter about infrastructure (aws, downtime, and more).
  • #support is the channel used for the support team to get help with answers for our creators.
  • Every Monday, people post what they're working on in #updates.
  • Every Friday (or so), people post what they got done that week in #updates.
  • Work chat happens in public channels as much as possible. This way, everyone is aware of what’s being talked about (and why).

Other tips

• The #design channel is a great place to see what the designers are up to.
• Product-specific channels such as #mobile-apps, #product, #flexile
• Disable emails from GitHub to reduce duplication of notifications. We recommend using #engineering and GitHub.com or the app directly instead.
• Disable emails from New Relic, Bugsnag.
• Turn off all notifications from your phone!
