I've been fully remote for years and overall, remote wins for me.
But there are some things I think are good about periodic in-person meetups.
What is it about in person that makes people
think more communication gets done?
- The real-time nature is helpful for some tasks, although you can accomplish that nearly as well with Zoom/Meet/etc.
- I haven't found an online alternative that truly matches the ease of use and "flow" of a physical whiteboard.
- When in-person meetings are "special" rather than an everyday norm, people seem more likely to bring their "A" game.
- Lot of informal (yet important and job-related) conversation and collaboration happens in informal settings: hallways, at lunch, over drinks, at the water cooler, etc.
