This is the bad part -- the best stuff to learn from has been filtered out. Text is written with a specific audience in mind, and that audience generally isn't students. You can write a second document sure, but that requires dedicated tome to writing a second document, and even then, the author may not know which details are most important for the student to know
- frumper 3y agoHey, are you busy? Or Can we chat about a problem I’m having with the dev server? Or When do you think you’ll have free time? Those questions are all direct and to the point. They didn’t start out with “hey, see the raiders game last night, it was crazy. My dog was so excited from all the yelling she jumped on the table and started eating the chips.” To be clear. We were talking about reaching out to coworkers.
