This hits close to home. Unfortunately, I don’t see this cultural shift happening. Our management sees the current remote setup as strictly temporary and can’t wait to herd us back to the open office as soon as they are legally allowed. Maybe moving the desks slightly further apart.

An often overlooked benefit of writing documentation (regardless of whether anyone will read it) is that it forces you to explain everything in a structured way and discover things that can be improved or simplified.

Same principle as rubber duck debugging.

It’s a shame because Zoom has good fundamental tech.
