Interesting interview. Avdi, from your experience, is it common that teams simulate “working together”, using tools like TeamSpeak?
I think I would have a hard time pressing mute in a company room, out of curiosity for what is going on.
Judging from my interviews it’s not common, but I have heard from a few other teams that use push-to-talk.
