Yeah
"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.
