The speaker considers resolving blockers and enabling high-quality team execution productive work, even when it occurs through Slack rather than creating a standalone deliverable.

“Um, but I do think actually the, the types of Slacks that I'm like when I'm pruning through and getting are often just like our team is like blocked on something 'cause there's some hard decision that needs to happen or whatever it is, right?”

“And it's like, it is just like a form of, whether it's in Slack or some other way, right?”

“Like it's a form of getting the team unblocked, like executing in high quality, that is my job anyway, and it like happens to happen a lot in Slack.”

“But I do agree that it ends up feeling like, what did I even produce, when you get through a whole day worth of literally just like going back and forth with people and trying to solve problems and- You, you produced a, a functioning team.”
