Slack party

Happy Monday, BMR. Cool news in the digital communication realm today: Technical.ly will be shutting down our internal Slack and moving all staff communications to our public Slack.

 

Yes, we'll maintain some private channels for sensitive company discussions. But for the most part, when we communicate with each other, you'll be invited into the conversation. Join us to chat with more than 3,000 other tech pros. Check out #goodreads for article recommendations, #jobs to find your next gig or share that your company's hiring, or #baltimore for local stuff. And of course, #ama has been where it's at for live interviews with technologists from around the mid-Atlantic and beyond.

 

See ya there.

 

— Technical.ly Managing Editor Julie Zeglen (julie@technical.ly)
