It makes sense if you are collaborating over IRC, but I feel the need to face palm when people sitting next to each other do it.
What is your preferred way to talk to your team?
No English, only code
Slack
Zoom
In a meeting room
Over lunch
On a walk
One thing I’ve learned over time is that the highest bandwidth way of talking is face to face because you can read body language in addition to words. Video chat is okay, but an artificial and often overly formal setting. Phone is faster than text. Text drops the audio/visual/emotional signal completely. Code is precise but requires reverse engineering intent.
I personally like a walk, and then pair programming a shared screen.
