FWIW, I found synchronous interruptions to be more of a problem when remote. Too many people used Slack messages or video calls for everything because it was only a click away, as opposed to having to get up and walk over to someone’s desk

Slack is terrible for documenting. It needs to be reserved for ephemeral communication.
Forcing people to search through Slack archives works when the team is small and company is new, but it becomes useless at scale.
