Alternatively, you networked, built useful relationships and shared knowledge.
- interpol_p 1y agoSure. I catch up with many of them on weekends anyway — we hike together, our families know each other, some live nearby etc. Regarding knowledge sharing, that happens equally well via Slack. (Actually, I'd say a screen share works better than over-the-shouldering someone else's screen in person)

Hopefully I don't get a crappy seat in the conference room." "I'll take the meeting from the desk." "Nice. Lunch later?" "Yeah. Talk then." Wow. Another day of building relationships and sharing knowledge.
