This seems like the worst of both worlds option.
I think there is value in a higher level interaction sometimes instead of texting, but videochat seems to be the far superior option?
"I abruptly asked one morning to stop messaging me about story ideas on our office’s chat platform, Slack. Instead, I said, let’s talk the ideas out over the phone."
Maybe people remember things a lot better than I do, but text based logs are super helpful. I also think writing often is a better medium to go over thoughts in a coherent way (I find people that disagree with this usually have trouble typing which makes it a lot harder).
- bllguo 7y agofor anything involving concrete deliverables and obligations, I really like having a written log. Like you say, it also forces communication to be more explicit. It's easy to handwave details away in voice. OTOH something like story ideas sounds like the kind of thing that would benefit from voice. Situations where things aren't already spelled out nicely, where rapid feedback and iteration are valuable.
