As long as it's asynchronous I'm fine with people doing this. It's coworkers who go "Hello dukeyukey" and pause is what annoys me. Being polite is great, but let me know what you want before I decide to drop what I'm working on to chat about it.
- Macha 5y agoYeah "Yt?" "Yes" "Coworker is typing..." for 20 minutes The above is a way more frustrating interaction because it feels that now the coworker feels I'm obligated to respond to a much longer query than I had anticipated. I'd expected a short query which I could either answer offhand or evaluate its priority to indicate if I had time to handle it. Instead I now need to let someone down that after 20 minutes of explaining their problem, I actually don't have the time or info to help them debug their CI build. It's gotten to the point that I simply stopped answering these naked hellos/yt questions.
