> I almost always struggle with Google's login thing. It's always chosen the wrong person. I'm always having the wrong permissions, and it's infuriating. Places like Slack do this as well. Go and try to log into your Slack account on a specific one. It's like, "Oh my God. I have like, 12. And I have to remember that my one password is just littered with Slack log ins." It's like, "I'm just one person. Either I have access to a room, or I don't."

Ha, I have the same issues with accounts on Google and (previously) Slack. GitHub's approach to simplicity is really something that differentiates them from not only competitors but other companies in IT. It's an interesting counterexample to the typical stereotype that engineers cannot build products with good UX.

It should be "chatops" instead of "chat up".

Thanks! To me it's always been about product and I have a lot of background in design so it was always a priority at the company. In my mind, one of the most impactful things you can be today is a developer/designer. There is immense power in that skillset combination.
