How (if at all) do people deal with this firehose of email?
I’ve disabled _all_ email notifications both on GitHub and Discourse. I actively visit the GitHub Notification page when I want to see what’s on on GitHub. Ditto for Discourse. This makes my life a lot easier, and I receive fewer pings. (Those two are actually the same; it’s just different wordings.) I don’t need more pings; I need a convenient UI that shows me what I want, when I want it.
Another really nice thing with this is that the notifications are _grouped_, both in the GitHub UI and the Discourse UI. I see one blue dot for each PR or each thread. I know you get threads in email clients as well, but I prefer the web UIs.
My 2 cents (or 2 øre if you’re in my home town)
