I find discussions and calls happen organically on Slack. I'll often get a message "I'm stuck on this bug, can we huddle?" then we open a voice chat and screen share our way through the problem
Strangely, I have far more unscheduled discussions about real work than I do when I go into the office
When I go into the office we eat lunch together, we chat about non-work related things. It's fun but they are also the days where I get the least done, and where I feel the least bonding with my colleagues
I feel closest with my colleagues and friends when we have a video or voice call and work hard to solve real problems together. There's a shared sense of achievement
I go into the office once a fortnight to pick up shared lunch that we eat together. Sometimes I'll arrange a work-from-Cafe morning where we find a great coffee shop and take our laptops for the morning
