Meanwhile, my lead, who insists I drive 40km which takes 70 minutes one way:

"I can't do teams meetings for design discussions, I don't like drawing with my mouse"

Me: "OK, get a Wacom tablet or wtv and draw with that?"

Him: "No, just come to the office" for our 5 min talks we have occasionally and the once every two weeks 1 hr discussion

If only they could somehow have a webcam point at their desk to show you what they're drawing

There's like a $10 app called super display that will turn any android device into a touch monitor, pair that with one of those precision styluses with the plastic disc on the end, you got a ~$20 dollar drawing tablet!

Hint: it isn't about the Drawing.

Yeah exactly, so strip the layers from this bullshit onion and don't let him have any excuses.

Nice! I would have imagined there was some app to allow freehand drawing on phones, so thanks for the info!

I read this has: " I have an irrational need to be in the same room as you, here is a plausible excuse to justify it"

Then you replied with: "here is a reasonable solution to the excuse you gave me so that we can all work better"

And then it went down hill.
