Slack must be cut ;)

Their own client is maintained by people who have lunch with the server 
developers every other day. You're a client developer, but you don't have 
lunch with the server people.

Brandon will tell you that he wants to treat you exactly as well as he 
treats their own client developers, and I think he honestly does want to do 
that. I even think their official policy matches Brandon's opinion, if they 
have an official policy. But you don't eat lunch with Brandon's team, and 
having lunch beats both official policies and preferences.
