Discord Channels

Why Discord?

We chose Discord over Slack for several reasons that align with our team culture and operational needs:

Fun and Engaging: Discord offers a more fun and engaging environment. Its gaming roots and casual atmosphere resonate well with our team, making daily interactions more enjoyable.

Customization: While Discord didn’t come with built-in support for many of the integrations we needed, we saw this as an opportunity rather than a drawback. We enjoyed the challenge of developing custom integration tools, such as commit ranking bots and CI/CD release pipelines. This process allowed us to tailor our tools specifically to our workflow, creating a unique and efficient system that fits our needs perfectly.

Here's how we use our Discord channels to keep everyone connected and in sync:

General Communication

• #main: This is the main hub for company-wide announcements, updates, and important news. It’s where everyone stays informed about the latest happenings at CodeThreat.

• #off-topic: A space for casual conversations and non-work-related discussions, helping to build team camaraderie and a sense of community.

Collaboration and Support

• #help-center: A dedicated channel where team members can ask for help or offer assistance. It’s all about supporting each other to overcome challenges and achieve our goals.

Focused Work Streams
