  So an e-mail with the subject tomato incident and a link to a zoom? Chat is for back and forth. And to pretend that this "conversation preparation" somehow takes (and interrupts) a worthy chunk of your day is either laughable or pompous. plus, didn't we agree that chat is async and thus this "conversation setup" never happens? I am forced to respond to "how are you" in real time? async convo = UDP "convo setup" = TCP, and it doesn't happen

    I think you might be missing the point that the back-and-forth is actually terrible for work communication, considering that workdays are quite limited.
