After a quick Google search I learned that it wouldn’t be as easy as using IFTTT or Zapier In today’s age of automation, there’s simply no reason you should spend precious seconds every morning brewing coffee when you could be catching an extra five minutes of ZZZs. However, I forget to update the status (a lot), which leads to confusion (and inevitably chaos). This would save them some time in searching for me.

At the Indivirtual office, at a customer’s office or at home/coffeeshop, etc… I had promised my colleagues that that they would always be able to see via my Slack status where I am.

Update your Slack status automaticallyĬurrently I have three main locations where I sit during the week randomly. Of course, this does mean that sometimes precious time is being “wasted” on solving a problem that would have been quicker without spending time on writing code. There is a saying (or myth) that a good developer is a lazy developer, because a lazy developer hates to do something repetitive and will find a way to automate it.
