Some people don't want to be alone, interacting with a JIRA queue their whole life. I miss coffee with coworkers. I miss being human at work.

You can be human in a distributed setting, too.

There are all sorts of tools that allow for an asynchronous human connection, e.g., asynchronous video recordings.

Working mostly asynchronously also doesn’t mean you can’t have the occasional synchronous online meeting (including coffee) as well.
