I perfer async standup over slack.

- It makes it easier to parse information, reread, and catch things like hey 2 people are working on the same thing.

- Helps catch people stuck/avoiding work as you can see someone on the same task for 5 days, or rotating between 2 to 3 tasks when none are done.

In terms of discussions, questions or post standup followup, a thread tends to get started per checkin which could lead to a meeting. This also creates a good historical trail for when issues come up.

Though I am a huge slack fan, having a channel per project/epic and any conversation had or meeting gets summarized and put back into the chat
