Haha, I appreciate the candor! I definitely do like the tranquility now a days when I'm deep in code as well.

Just out of curiosity, would your answer also apply in moments when you wanted to take a break (ie got away from the desk, took a walk etc)?

Nah, those off the wall conversations where nice. I do miss them.

Walking with people after lunch bs'ing about whatever was always enriching for me.

Oh ok thanks for the follow up! I definitely agree it's challenging to replicate that kind of situation virtually. Especially if people eat lunch at different times, low visibility as to when they're not busy etc.
