I work as developer in a pretty much one of biggest health care 
companies in my Country. We have developers scattered across all 
the country, so we do pretty much everything online. Last week we 
were having a problem with one system, we stayed all day long 
talking about it over text (Chat), I had a solution but 
unfortunately some teams wasn't understanding and 
miscommunication was occurring and some people was entering the 
chat later and asking the same things over and over.

The next day in the morning I was called again to explain the 
solution for a new team, then I asked everybody to go online 
(Video call).

Believe or not in less than 10 minutes we were finished.

This was not the first time this happened, where texts (Chat or 
e-mail) keep going around and nothing moves until we go online.

I think sometimes this group lack of this kind of thing. I even 
posted in another thread about String Interpolation that this 
should be resolved faster if you were online.

That's it,

Matheus.
