@charisreid_ I do think there's an amount of seriousness that's needed. Like, if you're managing people, if you're hiring people, if you're just... working with people... it's a big responsibility & you need to take that seriously.

@charisreid_ to give an extreme example: apparently Elon Musk is the kind of person who disrupts meetings, showing people funny videos etc. but what can you do in that situation??? he has the power there, you just have to sit and take it

@charisreid_ but also it cuts both ways, people spend so much time at work, taking the time to not just be straight business 100% is good. people are human, we need to relate & care & be cared for.

@charisreid_ eg, writing design docs, I know I need to be clear and think through shit etc - making people's lives worse if I don't. but also they have to read them & better to read something that reads like it's written by a person rather than a robot. even, sometimes, jokes...
