Why engineering teams love Slack
The adaptive collaboration hub for software engineering


Back in 2009, Slack was a small team of software engineers, building a massive multiplayer game called Glitch. Today, Slack has become bigger than the company ever imagined - and its adoption by Dev teams of all sizes is a major reason.
