IRC-pilled startup bro wants to LARP as 1990s sysadmin

A screenshot of a Twitter post by U.S. Graphics Company nostalgically praising IRC and traditional communication methods over modern Slack-dependent workplaces, followed by a Hacker News submission titled 'Anthropic, Please Make a New Slack.' The post humorously describes an idealized workplace using email, IRC, and phones with zero emojis or memes. Extracted text: U.S. Graphics Company @usgraphics · 10h Maybe we should just use IRC for internal comms. I remember working at a 150 people "startup" and it was embarrassing how everyone is memeing and constantly glued to Slack. The whole experience left a bad taste about modern HR centric workplaces. Email + IRC + Telephone would be based. No emojis, no memes, no files, no photos. Asyn/sync be damned. Phone rings, I'm answering "Department of Flutter Dynamics, how may I help you?"
