more than that: you shouldn’t need ti respond immediately in work hours.

such messages really should be done via the task management system, for example a JIRA comment.

slack for all the things is the problem. it is a crutch to allow bad organizational skills. just yell when a thought pops into your head is not great for the team.

but if you know they are working on X and it is about X then comment on the X ticket.

Slack should also allow message queues which don’t alert but can be consumed once or twice a day by people for non urgent stuff.

oh man, hard disagree. You are taking all the humanity out with JIRA only communication. If it's slack, or glue, or SMS txt, I want to "talk to people" that is type to people during my day.

Social communication is of course needed and a seperate thing. The Jira comment may lead to a meeting anyway, but at a time that suits all.

Yup, we've sort of assumed this is the standard. Lots of people here love to work at 2 AM. We used to schedule messages for 9 AM, but that happens to be when nobody reads them. A lot of good chats start at 1 AM, when people are in the zone and don't have to drop off in 14 minutes for another meeting.

I read them. And then I click on "remind me in 1/3/6 hours" or whatnot, once I realize that it's not urgent.

I spent 20 seconds trying to work out which Eastern/Central European language this headline was written in.

I briefly considered ROT13-ing it before clicking through!
