"Hey Luis, I cant believe I wrote about this topic and didn't reference your work. Thanks a lot for the comment. Im not contesting whether email should be replaced at all. Its as painful for me as it is for the next guy. My goal was to spark a conversation about how we try different things to make this transition faster. I dont believe were at a point where your usage patters are even slightly close to being replicated at scale but you know that I admire you're tenacity to make the change. For the rest, whist no doubt that its a human/change management issue, I do believe that technology can do much better to make this transformation real and sustainable.We'll get there. Even in my personal social network usage Ive turned off 99% of email notifications and rely on my phone for those so as to remove clutter. But to move meaningful work out of email, we need to stop thinking of messaging as one platform and applications as another. Piece by piece well dismantle email's dominance and you..."
