Teamwork takes time. I think a lot of people do not understand that.

As soon as we get above two or three tightly knit people internal communication starts to become the bottleneck. It's inherently serialized. It's the human equivalent of Amdahl's law.

Never has it been more clear than when remote work took over in organization that are not built on it from the start. While we all feel more productive without office chit chat it all has to be compensated somehow if we're going to be aligned with common goals.

Perhaps we need to dedicate 25% work time to PR's. It's just half of what pair programming is and plenty of people are productive doing that.
