Slack would have been amazing but they killed off what became screens. If you're a programmer, check it out. It's screen-sharing plus actual control sharing. So if im pair programming- I can let my coworker take control to type something and go back and forth. And it's not laggy or anything.
That's cool, but when you're working on a code base with over a million lines of code and tons of undefined business logic- having someone to bounce questions of off and helping make decisions definitely speeds up the process. I think it has its place.
Even if you're a 10x programmer- if you spend just half an hour with the other programmers on your team, you've turned what might be a 4 hr task for them alone into an hour long task. So you've made your entire team way more productive than it could have been than if you just kept your head down and focused on your own work. When I'm hiring someone- if you're a genius but you don't work with anyone else, I'm gonna hire the guy that isn't quite as smart as you, but brings the entire team's productivity up.
I would recommend microservices. Code shouldn't be much more than 200 lines at this point. You do not need multiple developers to work on 1 microservice. If you do, then I would recommend hiring better people.
Collaboration stems from hiring sub par people. It is an SJW, communist concept and it is silly. It is the hot buzzword in IT because IT is saturated SJWs with sub-par dev skills. Pay more, hire real developers and get real productivity. Or whatevs, pay less, hire scrubs and throw 4 bodies at a job that can be done by 1.
Or hell, hire H1Bs then you can throw 10 resources at a job that can be done by 1. They all elevate each other and you pay indentured servant wages so definitely a win. You get to practice extreme programming, with leet paired programming and get max collaboration, or whatever the new buzzword of the day is.
Slack is excellent. Not sure why everyone jumped to Zoom, it had/has security issues as well.

Pair programming is teh lame. I do not buy into it and like to work alone.

10 developers screwing in a lightbulb.
