> There's another angle to it too - impatience. A big part of my resistance to asking question is the unpredictable, and usually large delay between me asking, and getting any kind of answer. This applies to community Slacks, Discords, etc. Thing is, if I have a question to ask, I usually need the answer right now. If I have to wait, I'll context switch, which is deadly for whatever I was doing at that moment.

Bingo. If I'm in the zone in terms of flow, have the right level of caffiene, etc., having to stop and chase people -- then wait -- breaks that flow. In many cases, it simply punts the flow until tomorrow, or the day after.
