- Terr_ 2y agoI wonder if anyone's done a study on those different styles, clustering them with other things like type of work or personality traits. I anecdotally associate "those people" with either: 1. Job roles (e.g. Sales) or personalities that are accustomed to interactively pushing people to do things for them 2. People who don't feel safe assuming that I can/will help. 3. Someone struggling to describe their problem up front, so they aren't sure what to place in my metaphorical inbox 4. There are multiple people they could reach out to for help, and they're trying to determine which person might react soonest. (But they aren't using other strategies like posting their problem in a channel and @-mentioning multiple potential helpers.) Their problem may or may not merit the kind of latency they're looking for.
