On: Slack is down

I'd be a little nervous if I'd recently bought Slack for $20B.

It's not like there aren't alternatives. You could even imagine someone has a live bridge between Mattermost and their Slack team, making the switchover seamless.

Why be nervous? Outages happen. If this were a string of major issues over a few weeks or months, that might be cause for concern, but a single incident is not.

c-suite politics are brutal. There is always a reason to be nervous, it's just a matter of degree.
