I built haystack - natural language search engine for workplace technical knowledge. I've been a software engineer for a few years now, A few weeks ago I was scrolling through confluence pages trying to find ssh connection details to our jenkins second integration machine for 40 minutes straight, later I discovered my co-worker slack'ed me the ssh connection string *two months ago*.
