Yeah, this is something I didn't make clear on my post. Chat between people is the same bad UI. People read in the aggression that they bring to their reading. And get mad at people who are legit trying to understand something.

You have some of the same problems with email, of course. Losing threading, in particular, made things worse. It was a "chatification of email" that caused people to lean in to email being bad. Amusing that we are now seeing chat applications rise to replace email.

Yeah this is part of why RTO is not an entirely terrible idea. Remote work has these downsides -- working with another person over a computer link sucks pretty hard, no matter how you do it (not saying WFH doesn't have other very real upsides).

Agreed.

I'm actually in an awkward position where I was very supportive of RTO two years ago, but have since become very reliant on some things I could not do with a rigid RTO policy.

Regardless of RTO or WFH, patience and persistence remain vital qualities.
