joas18913yI like to have a quick daily meeting (daily scrum) so that everybody on the team is up to date. But quick meeting 1-to-1 is probably not as useful or productive unless you are the team.

Depends ... It's far easier to understand and bounce ideas in a call than via text.
Especially when I know the person has the tendency "to get lost" (as in they know what they're doing, but loose focus soon and might unintentionally create a bigger problem than before)… I love to have a call... I can very fast recognize if the person is convinced of his solution. -
I don't mind when it's actually quicker on a call - sometimes if explaining code while screensharing it's definitely quicker.
But screw those people who just want to get a quick answer to an important question and think that taking up more of your time with a call is the way to do it. -
First, message leave traces and most people who "Want to catcvh up" don't want to leave ANY traces of exchanged information as you could potentialy use what they said later
Second, a lot of managment still feel that "call is better than email because we can asses the reaction".
All 2 reasons are BS. -

Not really to the 2nd one.
I'm the debugging duck of many devs - and when someone suddenly starts struggling explaining or realizes that his solutions has a few loopholes, it's okay.
Reflecting with another person your ideas is always a good idea.

I dislike people that always want to “catch-up via quick call”. Dude can’t you type a simple message?
