I’m short on real time chat mattering as much in 5 years.

My company is sick of the nuisance, and is working towards real time communication via git & CI/CD, PD alerts, and self guided copy paste of boilerplate framework manifests, without the constant forced check ins to sooth attitudes seeking conformity and compliance in behavior of people who are generally non-hostile.

Traditional office life is falling down just as much because the people that built it are dying off as it is tech.

The masses commuting to offices on the far edges of our towns is a generational thing that the future isn’t obligated to give a shit about.
