Very similar observations from 10 years ago and now. And in the hospital, chat has no role. It's curious watching the Dev community obsess about how many things could theoretically do without getting off their butts, and then swear the latest standing desks.

I understand the sentiment, but it's important to consider the people in situations where it's not feasible to meet physically. It's not about "getting off your butt" if you live multiple hours away from the office.
