Ask HN: What is collaboration like for you these days?
At my company I'm part of a team which is composed only of seniors. We have a lot of work and basically each team member works independently reaching out to other team members when they need an opinion or validate and idea/design. There's no pairing. Comms is basically async. I did see situations however where a design was taken forward (approved by the team) just to be heavily criticised during implementation - reasons unknown. Things like this happen, it's natural, especially if you have competing priorities. But it makes me think if all teams of seniors are like that? Collaboration can be async but the parallel work aspect feels very "unteam". I guess I'm just getting old but in this post-Covid, hybrid working world we live in, is this "async ask when needed" style the new normal? 0 comments on Hacker News.
