I am adamant about keeping bots out of human spaces. Also, about linking bot messages back to their code and runtime environment. blog.exe.dev/botiquette

blog.exe.devBotiquette - exe.dev blogWe have a lot of bots doing work at exe. Here's how they should behave.

Can you expand on how you do this in practice, blog.exe.dev/talk-emoji suggests you have bots in slack, do you just limit them to certain channels?

Yes limit channels. Our bots either mostly post in ‘news’ or respond to various actions (threads seem fine if invoked explicitly) or comment on other bots (eg investigating an alert).
