One thing I learned going from hybrid to physical, then moving back to remote in the last decade os that the type of people that interrupts you all the time don't learn how to solve similar problems, because asking is cheaper. Having a history on your slack you can just search and remember the solution given. For myself it's also easy to remind someone of the similar problem and adapt from the slack history, like similar commands and steps to solve an issue. If more than one person asks about the same problem you can just copy and paste to a wiki and pin on the channel. It's definitely better if everyone is on the Toyota model mentality instead of the ancient Ford model. Then with the spare time I can actually do a lot with my remote teammates that is more social. Online games are a thing. Sharing photos of your last hike trail is another, discovering similar tastes and food recipes is also awesome. I get that remote is not for everyone, specially people wired for social touching, but I felt extremely handcuffed in a open office space, doing my actual work by getting into the office 1 to 2 hours before everyone else. I found that I'm more willing to socialize now because of better planning, decent schedules, and doing small talks after completing the hardest parts of the sprint, and respecting everyone's schedules by proper use of async comms. Remote is not "anti collaborative". It only requires a different mindset.
