Let me clarify, I’m not saying that we should never synchronously communicate, but that it is not the sole or primary communication.

My comment was about the tendency to avoid writing over speaking. I think we need lots of writing and some speaking.

Software in particular is easier to “say it in code” than to just talk and talk and talk.

I’d say my preference is write-up, then talk, then follow up with write-up.

My complaint is the constant redirection to only talk and never write up.
