Somehow I was hopeful that this would be an announcement about adding syntax highlighted code blocks to Slack messages.

But why, it brings literally nothing to the table

Someone please wake me up from this fever dream

Given that like omnigent and qm already integrate with Slack, it's not a huge surprise that Slack is building agent capabilities directly in.

Personally, I'm getting ecosystem fatigue. Who even has the time to set up pilots to feature-test all these different systems?

Is this basically trying to do something similar to Zed's https://delta.dev/, but from Slack instead of an IDE?

wish i could use slack again, stuck with teams and the code sharing experience is meh

> This isn't just a new feature — it’s a new way to build software

I imagine they smushed 2 of the most well-known AI-isms together on purpose here to troll the AI-weary. Might as well I guess, if this type of language annoys you then the whole feature probably will too.

A new way Slack more annoying

At this point I literally have no idea what modern coding is supposed to look like. I still open my editor, type stuff in and run make. All these tools are released daily and they just fly over my caveman head.

SaaS companies have run out of ideas. No one truly needs another coding agent. I weep for SaaS's future.

Coding in slack was not on my bingo card.

Hey Slack, how about making workflows less of a pain in the neck to use? In them there is no ability to have branches rejoin to a common path. Worse, an item isn't found in a list it just throws an exception instead of giving me a null item, which oddly I can test for in an if even though it will never happen?

I feel at this point all new AI announcements can be auto completed by AI.

Next up - Slack releases a model router.

Oh look it's a Buzz clone

When we can code in English, now we can code in group chats.

Maybe it’s the future. Where I can join to coding/spec driven channels to observe or help.

I would do this - coding/spec driven in public. Hope it will be the future.

It would allow also non devs to join.
