I get what you’re saying here, and you’re right that other UIs will be a big deal in the near future… but I don’t think it’s fair to say “just” textboxes.

This is HN. A lot of us work remotely. Speaking for myself, I much prefer to communicate via Slack (“just a textbox”) over jumping into a video call. This is especially true with technical topics, as text is both more dense and far more clear than speech in almost all cases.
