Slack. What the fuck is it? Their homepage doesn’t say anything except some marketing bullshit, and both of the companies I work for apparently want to use it. I think it’s some chat / file upload service which is TOTALLY RAD NEW THING because we’ve never had those before, and I’msure the security guys will love it when I tell them that using Slack means giving all of the company secrets AND files to a random U.S. based company (I’m in EU with different set of laws) and Amazon because I doubt Slack owns their own servers.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Phew.
