EDIT: I don’t like the term ‘soy boy’, just picked ‘soydev’ for a lack of a better word, intending to use it semi-ironically.
recently I saw a project move PR discussions to discord, like what’s the point of using a git forge at this point, you can as well just use git send-email
at work you’ll probably use something like jira, github projects or taiga so it’s good to learn using and relying on a single source of truth designed specifically to see who’s working on what and keeping the specs in one place. Also this one is a disputable, but I think that compared to e-mails, IM apps feel slightly more hostile towards the right to disconnect (read receipts and activity status for example). Also in professional env if a company cares about it’s trade secrets it will not rely on 3rd party solutions for all of it’s communications.
This one is big, and shouldn’t just be professional environments. People rely on open spy devices in both environments because they’re dumb.
Element would be a great alternative. Signal would also be decent.
Signal is great but Element doesn’t yet operate at the speed of light like a modern communication app. I’m sure that’ll change eventually!
I am talking about general projects and nothing specific to coding. Unless I misunderstood their post.
