That's not a benefit, that's a downside. Interrupting someone while they're working kills productivity. You're far better asking in chat and having someone you're not interrupting help.
- rifung 8y agoI'm sorry that you feel that way. I consider being able to help another person to be a huge privilege. What you describe sounds like it's putting one person's progress over another. Sure a mentor may be disrupted but by unblocking someone else they're still increasing the overall productivity of the team and thus is a net gain. > You're far better asking in chat and having someone you're not interrupting help. This only works when your question is general enough that many people can help you
