Where this "you want an async work environment? You must not want communication at all!" narrative is coming from is beyond me. There is more beyond the office to communicate with.
Yeah that's true, I think the async world is probably one that works for many.
For me, "working to live" doesn't resonate. I miss is the camaraderie and feeling of going to battle with people I like. For me, building something, and competing to win is what gives me the most meaning in life. I love my family, but there's something in me that wants to give more to the world. It's not for everyone and of course it's not the only way to live. But that's what feels right for me, and I miss it.
