I couldn’t imagine anything worse than purely async communications. Tonality of voice is so key in building rapport, even better are video calls so facial expressions and (limited) body language can be used and seen.
I understand the sentiment but a world of purely text based interactions would feel very lonely and full of miss interpretations and understandings.
A happy medium needs to be found but while the pandemic has us locked up in our homes? I’m incredibly thankful for Zoom, Hangouts, FaceTime, Teams and even Skype.
Update: I don’t begrudge people not turning on video, im more than happy to just use audio but please don’t force me to type any more than I already do if you want to discus something complicated.
Update 2: I’m a full stack developer in case you’re assuming I like to talk because I’m product/sales/marketing
