Misusing Tools

I have a specific peeve that's a huge first world problem but more generally it's misusing productivity tools.

Why the [expletive] are you @ing me in a slack dm? I'm already getting notified of your message, it's just you and me so why do you need @ me? It's not like I get notified twice. It's just demonstrating you don't understand how Slack [expletive] works and it's a distraction and waste of my time. When I see @[slack handle] notification, it would only make sense someone is mentioning me in a public channel that requires my attention. @ing someone in a slack DM would be like sitting next to them, telling them you're going to send them an email; hear the email sound on their laptop then turn around and ask them if they received your email.

It extrapolates out to other tools but that's the easiest example I have. [expletive] people. Learn the basics of your tools.

I obviously banned the bot, but no denying a useful tool to know when those sweet chicken fingers are available.

Well, I also deleted the link since no one should ever accidentally click a bot link. But still!

You can feast upon their breaded goodness every 14 miles as you tour Ohio next Spring on your road trips.

TMNT-obsessed 1990 me would've been excited to learn that we were only a few decades away from the .ninja domain (after learning about the whole internet in general, of course).
