Have you used teams for sending code recently?
I tested it last week and it worked pretty well and even featured syntax highlighting. From the very limited one time test I actually prefer the way teams handle code since it doesn't force you to use some kind of snippet.
Teams is also supposed to get better formatting and chats fairly soon. I will continue to use slack because I prefer it but it's nice that teams is at least getting better.
Yeah, it has gotten better since a year or so ago, but it still falls quite a bit short of Slack. Slack can do snippets or not, it's up to you.
And yeah, it's nice that it's getting better, especially since I'm forced to use it for work (and interviews, where bad code handling sucks).
You can do regular code blocks in Slack? I thought you only could do inline or in snippets.
We luckily use both at work.
Yup, it's the same as in Teams, but I think it formats better: use triple backticks.
