This is really well said and I hadn't thought about it quite like this. It's true, I really don't mind when my colleagues on my team are talking within earshot or even adjacent teams I may tangentially support. What I hate though is engineers on teams I have nothing to do with or, worse, non engineering teams talking nearby.
