Careful, that's starting to sound like an example of a downside to remote work, which is a touchy topic these days...


That's a downside of exclusive reliance on written communication, not of remote work. You can avoid this with a phone call or a "can we pair for a bit?" session as well.


I take it "Can we pair for a bit?", means 'meet to discuss..." The non-apology sounded more heartfelt than this.


No, I mean pair programming to work on the issue. More applicable to work colleagues than discussing over github.


idk, in person where I work we'd still have these discussions online.
