I have the feeling this was more common when people did "releases", the age when subversion was still a thing.

Even suggesting that waiting days or even weeks to put something in production makes you feel like a caveman in an age when we are benchmarked by the time from edit to production (or heaven forbid, by the number of merges to production per day).

When I get a dump on my screen and have to communicate asynchronously and with in-line emojis (sigh) that leads to protectiveness. When we sit as a group it is much easier to get a common understanding of why and how we do things (it's not personal that you put your semicolons so differently from us). There's also at least the feeling that we have the possibility to learn from one another.

I still think it is a superior way of doing review. Simultaneously, as a group. Of all the things we do, review is what gains most by ultra bandwidth in-person communication.
