Some people seem to 'over-communicate' when using real-time chat, meaning that my Skype is flashing non-stop. Yes, I can turn off the notifications but then, what's the point of using real-time chat versus email?
- pasquinelli 11y agowhen i'm on skype for work i feel like there's a giant eye hovering to my left, watching me. i drop out of skype early in the day because i don't like it.
- tedmiston 11y agoI have noticed this too. I find it distracting and often low signal to noise discussion. I keep Slack on Do Not Disturb mode anytime I'm writing code. If someone really needs to reach me in realtime, they can @ me to trigger the icon badge. Our Slack team has hundreds of messages a day, but of those maybe 2-3 require my immediate attention.
