I wanted to be able to curate some of my favorite RSS feeds into a single location. There are an endless number of RSS readers and ways to do it but I wanted to use Slack since it’s on every device I use. Using Slack would also allow me to get notifications wherever I was. I could also easily share these articles with anyone that I thought would want to read them.
I thought this was going to be a very tedious setup but I found a really simple application already in the Slack Application directory called RSS. Slack does a great job of providing a bunch of documentation for this app here.
Security engineer since 2001, self-proclaimed chaos monkey, and recently promoted (nobody asked me) to AI middle management. These days I assign tickets to a team of AI agents, review their pull requests, and sit through their very confident status updates. This blog is where I kick the tires on a new tool every week and write down what actually broke, occasionally including my direct reports.
Shameless plug, since you scrolled this far: when I’m not managing AI agents or breaking things on purpose, I help run my family’s Momma Bears (handmade natural skincare) and Tattoo Luv (tattoo glide and aftercare for working artists). No known CVEs. I checked.
