Things like this remind me how dependent I am on IM for doing any work, which is weird because it doesn't feel like that should be the case. If you were to measure the raw number of seconds I spend sending IMs, it would be a relatively low percentage of my day, but I always forget how vital that percentage actually is.

As it stands, while I'm not fully blocked from being productive, I am blocked for a lot of work that needs to get done.

Yep. Especially if your development flow has integrated Slack alerts.

Coupled with COVID work-from-home constraints, there's no practical way right now to get code reviewed for merge into the main codebase 'round these parts.

Reminds me why we intentionally avoided tying core biz/dev workflows to Slack. :)

Devils advocate...

Do you tie core biz/dev workflows to Github (or any other service)?

Requiring GitHub to deploy your code to prod... goodness no.

Using, highly available, deterministic artifacts, that can be rapidly deployed or reverted from production is what we do.
