I was thinking about this last night after listening (paradoxically) to a podcast from ESPN about Phil Jackson and Steve Jobs. This was The Dan Le Batard podcast from Thursday and they talked about return stories. Dan posited the line from

I snarkily want to say "because Google has no idea what it's doing with messaging", but that's probably being too strong. It's a solid question to ask, that it needs to be asked I think points to the conundrum of me

Our team is equally parts remote and in-office and we've had so many issues with hangouts for our daily stand-ups. Not picking up audio, screen just stops sharing, links outright breaking for unknown reasons. We're a slack house a
