Developers (or perhaps managers) are always coming up with zany and new ways of doing things. It’s good fun, but mostly just that, fun. I hate hearing ad-hoc rationalizations about “team building” or “collaboration” or “synergy”. Call a spade a spade, it’s some made up technique for having a bit of fun. Some people will hate it, some will like it. Stop coating it in bullshit buzzwords. And preferably, don’t force people to play your game if they don’t want to.

- jka 5y agoIt's a difficult thing to measure, but does the team feel that collaborating together on a task in real-time improved their sense of cohesion?
