Literally never. I’d spend an hour googling for context and solutions before I’d listen to a voice message in the code pages. Voice is objectively the worst way to convey data via computer. It almost always wastes my time, is horrible to skim for relevant info, and for complex topics is an absolute nightmare. Text is so, so much more efficient. I can’t imagine why anyone would want this. If it’s ever implemented, please don’t make it obvious. Nobody should be encouraged to inflict this on coworkers or future devs. e: errant ’s’ permalink fedilink source parent
