To their credit, Slack is considered as having one of the most confusing UIs of modern times (threads, sharing channels, formatting using shortcuts etc.) , similar to iTunes.

like

To be fair the formatting is Markdown. Slack started with a big dev community first. That community was already familiar with Markdown formatting. This is the same reason there's code formatting and some relatively robust features on snippets too alongside a ton of keyboard shortcuts.

It’s not intuitive. E.g Screenshare requires a call first

When is it either allowed or seen as OK to start using FTO? I recently started here and while I’m not looking to slack off and take time off, I just want to know how it works. (Plus, I don’t want to not use something that I can or should use.) Elementary stuff, I know. But I’ve freelanced my whole career until now. Thanks

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.

Sometimes I let people know I'm sober. I don't talk about the 12 steps unless someone asks. I try to practice attraction rather than promotion. Also I've never done a noon meeting but sometimes I really think I should!
