If I were to make one request of people, it'd be that they re-read their own writing before posting it--even to Slack or a code-review. I feel like it's a daily occurrence that I have to read between the lines of what people say and construct my own reply that does the heavy lifting of moving the ball forward by outlining the different possibilities based on what was said. There's a sense in which lazy writers are offloading thinking onto others. This sort of drive-by writing is pretty annoying IMO. And when there's not someone in the room willing to do the meta-thinking of clarifying, it can lead to misunderstanding or arguments.
