We do it at my company/in my team. It's OK, come on, it's not that bad.

It's also a way for our team to get together and talk BS, have a little bit of fun etc.

It sort of betrays how people think of tech nerds. :)

It depends on your team.

I have teams that respond well to it. People like me, who work in metaphors and abstractions, respond well to it.

Get on the call and suck your thumb to fit in.
