Since 2020, my specific team only meets in person 3 times per year, with one or two members deciding to come into the office once every 2 weeks (because they want to).

We discovered early on that we were more productive WFH (with metrics to back it up), so we only have live meetups to organize big projects. We then take those big plans home with us and get it done remotely.

I can’t say it would work for every team, but I definitely don’t see the value in “being in the office” as someone who works entirely on the computer.

I see a lot of propaganda about how teams are more productive when they have “spontaneous interactions around the water cooler”, but in my experience that was never really a driving factor of our work.

All presented with blink-and-you’ll-miss-it dry humor and 90’s PBS editing.

Uncle Owen literally calls Obi-Wan a wizard — “That wizard’s a crazy old man” — so canonically that is how Jedi are seen by (at least some of) the population.

What is the benefit of that? What would happen if Threads users could integrate with Lemmy?
