I agree that video calls are great when used to create human connections and to vigorously debate - but little else. I've survived my share of Zoom meetings that should have been emails but it got WAY worse since the lockdown.
Reminds me of Chernobyl, where some steps within the safety system test checklist had been crossed-out for an unexplained reason and they had to essentially guess what to do. Not that a properly maintained checklist would have necessarily prevented it.
Despite what some may say, some level of documentation is needed in Agile. Agile is not an excuse to be a cowboy.
Having said that, not being a cowboy does not mean being wasteful. You don't install documents in production. Be sane. Document only what's needed for regulatory, GAAP or other purposes. If you need to document in case someone leaves, you don't have collective code ownership and aren't pairing properly.
