I'm of the opinion that sharing code is the most intimate act that people can engage in, it's like writing a story and you both have to agree on the plot, the characters, the layout.. now you might say you can spend 8 - 10 hours a day in isolation writing code but I'm telling you that's impossible -- even if I allude to the old adage 'to go quickly go alone, to go far travel with company' eventually you're going to need to know the person you're travelling with because holding back is actually much harder than simply putting down your defences Admittedly, remote work is something different but being colocated for extended periods of time even if you are an island, most people are not and you ought to give a care to your fellow human beings because any one could be going through some shit, as we are all wont to do -- look at TechLead for example.. his wife left him!! did he even mention it to his cubicle mates or did he just maintain a stiff upper lip?
