At Elation we make tools for physicians and their patients that improve the efficiency and fidelity of their relationship, and help to make the delivery of excellent, proactive healthcare possible. Put bluntly we make the only Electronic Health Record system that physicians love, and empathy for our user as well as curiosity & context driven design is foundational to how we operate. Right now is a particularly challenging time for our healthcare systems and providers -- Elation offers an opportunity to work and innovate in support of those providers and their patients.
I'm a leader in engineering @ Elation and we have development roles as well as have various openings across the of the organization which you can see here: https://www.elationhealth.com/careers/
Elation has been headquartered in San Francisco, though a large portion of our engineering team has always been remote, so we're hiring anywhere in continental US timezones. Tech stack is AWS/Python/Django/MySQL/ReactJS.
That's a bummer. I use Slack on Mac+iOS with the "native" app (which really just frames the web app but helps integrate notifications, etc.)
For the most part I experience none of the issues you mention. I get pinged when my name is @'d or on some emergency channels where I have it set to ping me on any message. I find it massively more useful and less distracting than IM+Email.
The one notification challenge I do have with it is that channels can move quickly enough that if I get @'d more than once while I'm afk for a bit it's easy for me to to respond to the latest ping I got but not catch earlier ones. I'd really like it to have a separate view that summarizes your mentions.
As for the features you don't understand:
- Email doesn't give you search for conversations you weren't a part of to begin with. That's the huge upside of a transparent-by-default tool like Slack when it comes to search. I can search for "Solr latency" and find conversations I wasn't a part of, from a time I may not have even been an employee. That's huge.
- File transfers - same, see above for email. Corp Lan shares rarely get search/indexing right.
Oh and FWIW I'm at least 70% curmudgeonly neckbeard too :)
Everyone's right that it was an ill-advised thing to do, but stepping back ignoring the law (I know..) and just asking yourself the gut question:
What's worse? injecting a relatively harmless script into the product (that frankly caused them to fix an issue that could have been very painful for them if someone more devious had found it first), or Qato's ripoff of Quora in the first place?
