short or mid-term work-life balance - which one is best?

I genuinely think about this every week. My approach has always been to ignore short-term balance (not worrying too much about weeks or months) and focus on the mid-term. I ll go all-in for 6 months when needed, give or take, and then slow down to recharge before ramping up again. Fow now, it s kind of helped me push through the toughest periods without burning out completely. That said, recently I ve felt the need for more weekly balance too. Even a small sauna session on Sundays helps a lot. How do you approach it? Are you more consistent week to week, or do you go through mid-term cycles like this too? would really like to get your thoughts on this!

Loving Slack, but Really Missing Sub-Sub-Threads

Hey all,
Let me start by saying that I really enjoy using @Slack. Every day I use it, though, I find myself wishing I could create threads within sub-threads. Is this limitation intentional to encourage keeping conversations in the main thread or are there any plans to support one additional level of threading in the future?
For example, we're building a product called Mozart, an AI-powered digital audio workstation (DAW). We had a thread discussing the mixer component, and within that, someone started a sub-thread about how effects would be handled. I wanted to go even deeper and discuss one specific effect the reverb module but there was no clean way to do that without cluttering the entire sub-thread. I instead had to forward the message to the main chat and start another thread there. A sub-sub-thread would have allowed us to stay a bit more organised and focused without losing context.
Keen to get your thoughts on this :)) !

Now that the Pro Plan gives unlimited agent requests, how are you using agents differently?

Are there any type of workflows you didn't use to automate but now do just because it's included in the Pro Plan? I find myself starting to replace TAB with Agent (with Auto mode, as this is for easy tasks), and doing something else in the code while the Agent completes.
