It seems you have never built any complex software which needed a lot of whiteboarding, intense design discussions with lots of nuances to hash out, lots of unanticipated tiny cases which were solved by a quick 2-min chat or other aspects which are far better addressed in person vs via Zoom.
- jleyank 4y agoI’ve spent decades building such things. But it’s not something that’s done much after things are threshed out and work assigned. Fine, gather the clans to start things up, divvy up work, and get out of their way and let them work. Better?
- RestlessMind 4y ago> gather the clans to start things up, divvy up work, and get out of their way and let them work That sounds good. But my company has no budget to gather the clans. So what is the alternative?
- jleyank 4y agoEmbrace remote work and zoom away. I assume there was never or is no longer an office to collect in?
- bluefirebrand 4y ago> which are far better addressed in person vs via Zoom. Can you elaborate on why you think this? It doesn't seem very obvious to me that this is the case. I've worked remote on a ton of projects and never really struggled to hash out these nuances via email, text message, video call, whatever.
