Not engaging enough. I write a couple lines, expect a couple lines some 1 to 180 minutes later that might miss half the point, etc. Totally different dynamic.

Having to cache in the previous state of the discussion whenever I receive a reply is exhausting. So some things are just not brought up.
And whenever it's actually an interactive synchronous live-chat, why not just hop on a call then?
- nottorp 2y agoCache? It’s a text chat, it has history?
- jstimpfle 2y agoAre you implying that 1) everything from the chat is immediately present in the brain when taking up the discussion at a later point, as well as 2) Last time you left the chat, all the the relevant context was well encoded as chat text in the first place?
- nottorp 2y agoI thought writing things down, even in a chat, helps a lot with both points? All this time I've been writing wrong...
- jstimpfle 2y agoIt's certainly better to have chat text than to not have it, but whether it can make up for the huge cost of asynchronicity is another question (each delay breaks your flow, requiring you to cache-out, cache-in...)
