Shownotes

We're choosing to talk about Slack because virtually every technology company is using Slack. It's ubiquitous. It's almost like de facto standard for communication.

One of the things that I found, and maybe you appreciated this too, is when I went through the documentation, just pages and pages and addendums, whatever. But it's not legalese. It's not legal jargon, which I very much appreciate it.


From lawyer Joel MacMull:

Yeah. All right. So, so, so First of all, let's talk about the manner in which it's drafted. To their credit, a lot of it is very much in plain speak. I mean, you know, Sometimes when you're going to talk about the exclusive jurisdiction in which a litigation can arise, it's going to get a little legalize. That's just the nature of the business. Mm-hmm. Um,


But to its credit, it's very much written in plain speak, and I think it's digestible. Would like to hope it's digestible.
