> This is why we have Slack instead of IRC

We have slack instead of IRC, because IRC sucks.

Consider in order to have offline history I'm logged in permanently via. tmux session on a server which I connect to with Mosh. Weechat is a barely okay client (totally not suitable for non-technical users and Mosh still has significant delay).

What do you expect the non-engineering part of the company to do?

Just the other day, a friend created a Slack channel (or whatever it's called) for a group of friends to plan a trip, and then promptly set up an IRC tunnel so he wouldn't have to use it. :-)

I don't have an opinion myself; I just find it to be amusing.
