It was illegal in the movie Gattaca too, but they explained it by suggesting companies / insurance will just invisibly discriminate anyway which I think is most likely where this will end up in the real world

I'm so sick of having to duplicate pieces of my actions constantly
Or, better, do you shit with the door open?

I've always thought about this too but I've heard this is a non starter for advertising companies, most companies want to know exactly where their ads are being served before putting money on the table.

I have been seriously considering building a keyboard along these lines for in person meetings, so I can essentially have it on the table in front of me and take notes without a display.
You might enjoy Ben Valack's videos on the topic (18 key keyboard)
Completely agree, it's also about building that open and honest culture to enable having that kind of conversation with the entire team. But even with this it still doesn't catch many day-to-day frustrations or things you may pick up on that the person wouldn't offer up regardless.

The problem with this is you put the onus on the Junior to ask the question, which is hard for someone who's still learning (especially with imposter syndrome being so rife). Also this doesn't allow for the Senior to spontaneously create learning opportunities relevant to whatever they're currently doing, the barrier cuts down a lot of it.
Also sometimes people need a sequence break to realise it's home time
1. I don't know how my employees are doing; many times in my career I've had to tell programmers to "go for a walk" or "time to go home" when they get stuck on a frustrating task or fall in to a flow state far past leaving time. Solutions I've found to this put onus on the employee or create more restrictions that hinder in other areas
2. Brainstorming whiteboard sessions are harder; the issue with remote meetings is that you need each person to finish speaking before the next person can start, which IMO slows down collaboration. Also I still haven't found a great tool to replace the whiteboard, Miro / Figma (Figjam) come close but also are slower at spinning up a flow diagram or sequence diagram or describing a stack.
3. Juniors / Grads need handholding; I've written frameworks to train newer developers in a remote setting but the remote divide creates an invisible barrier between the seniors and juniors for base support. I used to purposefully sit them next to eachother to enable the quick "do I use this or that?" questions or, better, have the senior look over and spontaneously create a learning opportunity related to whatever the junior is doing.
I guess the themes here are speed and spontaneity

I remember working in a pizza shop 10 years ago and Menulog's business was taking online orders then having an offshore call center call the restaurant to place the order. They would just invisibly mark up the cost to consumer to cover this.
(It was always a pain to take these orders as the callers english wasn't great and the call audio volume was low making it difficult to hear when busy causing incorrect orders, missed items etc.)
