Email is now like taxes. Mostly unpleasant critical tasks.

Every medium goes from play to interesting work to tax-like chore.

Twitter is entering the tax stage.

Right now on Bluesky apparently. Total party.

I'm curious is there are tools you've used that have significantly delayed (or still avoided) the tax stage?

CTO & CISO at Imperva. Previously co-founded Prevoty, and led engineering/security teams at BBC, MySpace, and NASA. I love making photography and music.

That’s why we like to switch tools every 2-3 years

Agreed.

I believe that innovative tools in any category tend to delay the sense of obligation for 2-3 years.

Lately, using Slack feels more like a task than a convenience.

Are things that enter this stage still “necessary” to use? Or are users better off switching to something else…
