Hi @kmsimpson , I have been in a team that they also used this same strategy to be more closer to each other, specially when pair programming, that sometimes is helpful but I find better to have scheduled calls or just reach out on text and open a call if needed with anyone in the team, specially when your schedule is usually busy.
I think you may be misunderstanding what I was discussing. Think of it like a virtual version of leaning over to the programmer in the next cubicle and saying, "Hey Fred, did you work on that Jira ticket? I have a question." Like I said, it was not required for anyone to be there, but there were several folks that simply liked being in there to be able to work together, ask questions, joke around, etc.
If someone's schedule was busy, they did not have to be in the room. Keep in mind, we also had Slack and email to use as well, but the room saw a LOT of action as it was very helpful. Also, keep in mind, getting answers this way was MUCH faster than email and we could always open a private room if needed.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
