Found Pieter and his books a couple years ago and it make a big impact.

We can accomplish so much more together if we have C4 and similar methods of coordination. Next time you hear of a burnt-out maintainer, have them read https://rfc.zeromq.org/spec/42/

The problem with chat is the interruptive, thoughtless nature of it. In a large organization, you want durability that you won't get from chat.
Internal Q&A, forums, and email all work because you can have long-form conversations on them but an important consideration is discoverability. If a new user wants to find out why X is true for some service, they'd better be able to do that without interrupting someone else.
