Solid product! But why does Codestream need the following Slack access : "CodeStream will be able to read all messages, files and profiles that you can access"? @peter_pezaris
David Hersh
@zaccooner CodeStream’s Slack integration allows you to share codemarks to any of your Slack channels or DMs. You and your teammates can participate in the conversation from either CodeStream or Slack, with messages in Slack being posted as the real users (as opposed to CodeStream bot). CodeStream is effectively acting as a Slack client, with messaging going directly from the IDE client to Slack’s backend (i.e., not going through our servers). This model provides a great user experience, but unfortunately, in order to do this Slack requires us to ask for those seemingly scary scopes. We’re exploring other options here, but hopefully the face that your Slack messaging isn’t going through CodeStream’s servers will give you peace of mind.

@zaccooner @dhersh Put another way, you're not granting CodeStream those permissions, since your Slack data does not flow through CodeStream's servers, but rather you're granting *yourself* those permissions, so your IDE can effectively become a slack client.

Wow. I am so excited to try this. Will give my thoughts later today.

This is such a lovely idea and kudos to you guys for executing on it so well. I haven't had the chance to use it yet but I've read the comments and seen some of the YC backchanneling and you've obviously hit this in the right place. I'm really excited for you guys and to see where this goes!

This is amazingly cool!

@haoyangnz Thank you very much! Let me know if you have any feedback once you've had a chance to try it out.

Does this work with MS Teams?

@ltroccoli not yet, although it's next on our roadmap. Probably 3-4 weeks out. if you are interested in getting a sneak-peek of a beta in a couple of weeks, shoot an email over to pez@codestream.com

I'd love to work in an enviromento where I could use it.

Pros:

Seems really good for collaborative and remote teams. Team code review activities can be easily achieved and issues can be created quickly.

Cons:

As any tool, seems like culture issues over the teams can slow down adoption.

No more copy/paste on slack!!

Pros:

Great tool. Allow not only teams to discuss code, but makes pair programming possible even with remote reams

Cons:

Only available thought the internet? Any on prem version in the future?

Peter Pezaris

We do have an on-prem version in the works. Probably 6-8 weeks out. Thanks for your feedback!

Five years from now developers will be thinking in terms of two eras: BC (Before CodeStream) and AC (After CodeStream).

Pros:

Cut and paste code to Slack was cool. This is next level. Topic #1 from our last launch was collaborating through the DLC. =SOLVED

Cons:

Too early to tell. 30 seconds to add from VS extensions. Side effects may include denial and depression from loss of life before CodeStream.

Thanks Patrick. Epic comments!

Awesome

Codestream is just awesome! Software development on brand new code is hard enough as is it. Now imagine trying to understand code that was written by someone else over 10 years ago!! It's what I had to do as a backend engineer since my company insisting supporting old application written in Perl and no one maintain it for ages. Having all the necessary documentations in the code just help debugging and understanding code logic in the same time. Codestream allows multiple contributors to work on the code in the same time, instead of having all the history in slack channels or emails, it's now all in the code. It saves so much time to onboard a new engineer. Highly recommended!
