I love the "in person collaboration" line... only to show up to the office and be stuck on zoom calls all day with your distributed team. I DO think that in-person collaboration can happen with RTTO, but when everyone is on zoom all day, it makes me think there are other reasons and this is just smoke and mirrors.
- antisthenes 4y agoYep, and I absolutely "love" collaborating with a group of 10 people in the office, all of whom are trying to use a crappy singular microphone, while carrying side conversations that the rest of the remote workers can hear.
- rootusrootus 4y agoI suspect a lot of the diversity of opinions seen on HN is because everyone's office experience can be very different. My team survives well enough as remote developers, but that's only part of the story. For coding, the team is doing great. But as an internal tool team a lot of our customers are people in our own department, and that collaboration has definitely suffered. Technically we can do all the same communication with them via zoom, but as a practical matter it doesn't happen to nearly the extent. For us it's a moot point for now, we dropped the lease on the office downtown and have not figured out what a replacement would look like. We can't go back in even if we want to.
