it makes me so sad when people say they don't like email, or email-based collaboration.

i
get why they feel this way. all the affordances of email nowadays are tailored for its being the awful nag machine rather than the constructive conversation machine.

but i need you to understand that email did used to be the constructive conversation machine. that it was possible to work with collaborators all over the world so smoothly. better than anything since.

we've lost that and i want it back.

@zwol@masto.hackers.town i am almost all email only - it is concrete and no bullshit, if people don't like, don't email me

@zwol@masto.hackers.town I think about this all the time. What would we need to do to the affordances of email, to fix the ergonomics of it.
