One year of rauchg's #brain-{username} Slack channels at Gradient Labs: mixed results
neal_lathia · x · 2026-11-12
Gradient Labs' neallathia reports nearly one year of experience with the #brain-{username} Slack convention popularized by rauchg, calling results "mixed" but strongly encouraging others to try it. The original idea: log thoughts, meeting summaries and insights in public channels instead of DMs, to work in public, reduce backroom conversations, maximize shared learning, and build a searchable dataset—one rauchg jokes could eventually train a "rauchgpt" replacement.
