Different things work for different people. However, I think this really overestimates the efficiency of email as a communication method to replace meetings. Personally, I think for the most part phone meetings with occasional screen sharing is usually sufficient but so much either gets lost in email or requires more effort to communicate effectively that I feel like this is more like "I don't want to deal with people" than about efficiently completing tasks. Also, I agree with the other person the lunch time thing and after hours thing just kind of makes me sad. If you replace email with phone calls, I mostly agree with it. Definitely agree with throwing out the all hands stuff, it's just a vestige of some Methodology fad.
