This is in contention with the usual developer gripe about being interrupted from focus. Sometimes the blocker is your teammate who doesn’t like interruptions.

More than once I've discovered someone working on a complex problem - they were making progress so didn't realize that someone else already had a solution and so they could save days of effort by asking the right person the right question.
- jwagenet 3y agoRight. My point is there's a cohort of people here who are like "dont bother me, I only check email/slack in the morning, need extended focus time". At least some of those people are the ones who might know a thing or too, but they breed a culture of discouraging even bringing an issue up.
