> I submit that this isn’t my reality.I never spontaneously break out a whiteboard., the same way I dont spontaneously break out into a dance routine.

Countless times I've walked up to someone and asked "hey can I work through this problem on a whiteboard with you."

And while I haven't done so myself, I have had coworkers spontaneously break into dance routines before. (Ok that has only happened once...)



Do you have visas for your timeline ? I’ll immigrate.

You have infinity times more dance routines in your time line than in mine.

To the point - they’re talking about having water cooler conversations, which spontaneously lead to ideas.

If all we really need is better white board tech, people can simply meet twice a week and white board, I.e. hybrid.


My timeline got cancelled because mega corp.

I have however blogged about it! https://meanderingthoughts.hashnode.dev/history-of-microsoft... for the start of the journey.

Turns out if you are designing an embedded OS (https://meanderingthoughts.hashnode.dev/cooperative-multitas...) you end up doing a lot of white boarding.
