I dislike people that always want to “catch-up via quick call”. Dude can’t you type a simple message?

    I like to have a quick daily meeting (daily scrum) so that everybody on the team is up to date. But quick meeting 1-to-1 is probably not as useful or productive unless you are the team.

    Depends ... It's far easier to understand and bounce ideas in a call than via text.

    Especially when I know the person has the tendency "to get lost" (as in they know what they're doing, but loose focus soon and might unintentionally create a bigger problem than before)… I love to have a call... I can very fast recognize if the person is convinced of his solution.

    I don't mind when it's actually quicker on a call - sometimes if explaining code while screensharing it's definitely quicker.

    But screw those people who just want to get a quick answer to an important question and think that taking up more of your time with a call is the way to do it.

    First, message leave traces and most people who "Want to catcvh up" don't want to leave ANY traces of exchanged information as you could potentialy use what they said later

    Second, a lot of managment still feel that "call is better than email because we can asses the reaction".

    All 2 reasons are BS.

    Not really to the 2nd one.

    I'm the debugging duck of many devs - and when someone suddenly starts struggling explaining or realizes that his solutions has a few loopholes, it's okay.

    Reflecting with another person your ideas is always a good idea.
