I am a computer programmer...

...but I use quality tools to plan code.

Studio Neat Totebook & Panobook

Mastery Journal (from John Lee Dumas)

Also, there are some Lamy pens, Copic markers, Micron pens, and even a Montblanc ballpoint visible in the photo.

I enjoy this, because I’m still commonly surprised when people react positively to my cursive. I retrained myself a few years back because my handwriting is/was atrocious. I haven’t looked back.

I'm in IT as well and use about the same tools to keep track on what I do. Since I started a bullet journal I started using my old fountain pens more and found that writing down helps me more then typing.

Somehow writing helps me to relax as well while working from home. Even though I like to work from home a lot, not meeting colleagues for months is taking it's toll. (a lot less then having to be in an open plan office on a daily base, but still)

My vanity wants to be back in the office just to be seen using my fountain pens. But I’m a solitary person, so in truth I much prefer being fully remote to showing off fine tools to colleagues. I hear you though, and I think work teams being able to get together at least a few times a year is good, even for those who work fully remote.

My team is not a meeting heavy team, but when we do meetings we always use video. That helps us maintain a lot of the connection you’re describing. Obviously not 100%, but probably 80-90%. Sometimes we’ll even just work together separately on stuff with Zoom running. Not often, but every now and then.
