That kind of smalltalk definitely happens, but where it happens varies a lot. At some places probably 80% of the idle work-related chatter happens on the IRC/Slack, while at others it happens mostly in the coffee area or hallways. Seems to be a company-culture difference in large part. Both are ok for me, but the places that use IRC/Slack a lot are easier to be remote at (or even just on a trip) without being excluded from all the impromptu discussions.

Not just easier to be remote at, but easier to remember the smalltalk/'check out this url'/minor decisions.

And easier to disseminate. Searchability is far superior with tools than with voice conversations.
