    "text": "we have a very simple rule in our team. Code can be slop, writing cannot. … What this design doc tool does, it's a replacement for both Notion and GitHub, effectively for design docs. It allows versioning, commenting, all the stuff you want. … We built another tool on top of that. And this tool was a slack integration for that tool. Every time a design doc got updated, this channel got notifications. And what ended up happening is this channel became the most popular channel in our company really fast.",
