I do, continually, particularly when communicating with the less technically inclined. Slack conversations can drag on, email chains take days, conference calls are great when everyone's paying attention but that's not often (IMHO).

Tem minutes in a room discussing an issue with all interested parties can sort things out far faster, in my experience.

Which may not be universally applicable - I'm not claiming it is, or that fully remote working doesn't work for others. Just that I've seen it be less than perfect on a few occasions.



Maybe I'm just lucky in that I very rarely have to talk to non-technical staff. I can see how that would be a pain
