Learning on the Shop floor Tobias Lütke describes Shopify's internal coding agent tool, River, which operates entirely in public on their Slack: River does not respond to direct messages. She politely declines and suggests to create a public channel for you and her to start working in. I myself work with river in channel and many followed this pattern. Every conversation is therefore searchable. Anyone at Shopify can jump in.
