Prefer face to face for the latency but nothing beats immutable text. I kinda wish we had a popular hybrid between Zoom and email that had the same real-time expectations of a Zoom call with the benefits of the written word.

I find real time makes people lazy and “take things for granted.”

How many times have you spent hours+ discussing a topic only to walk away and someone to say “oh, and one more thing…” only to finally get to the most important missing piece?

If you don’t expect others to be there “at the beck and call”, where your arse will be on the line for functional results, the pseudo-contract of explicit text is king!

We're social by nature.

I'm quite extroverted, face to face is risky for me I'll have a great time but miss the point if I'm not focused. Text removes the pleasantries and makes it business-first.

In the WFH/post-COVID era the main reason we (in engineering) still do face to face is to keep Agile grifters in a job. Would be terrible if people could just write what they wanted without a handler there to marshal.

Your self awareness is appreciable.

I’m an introspective introvert, so don’t mind me!
