I never had a word for this, but word pellets is perfect. You get pinged by someone (breaking your train of thought and forcing a context switch) and then have wait for them to send you 10 messages to get their thought across.
- whstl 3y agoI abide by this rule here: https://www.nohello.com/ https://www.nohello.com/ Older than the hills, but some people still need to be shown. I personally don't care much when people do this to me, tho. I just use Slack asynchronously, so I will take up to 30 minutes to answer the first hello, and then 30 minutes to answer the question. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- JohnFen 3y agoIf I haven't messaged a person for a long while, I'll say "hello". I just can't bring myself not to do it. But what I don't do is make it a separate message from the one I really want to send (as that web page suggests). So it's like "Hi Joe! I need to find out about <x>. Can you help me?"
