The amount of times I’ve had to send this to other developers is infuriating. I’ll wait 5 mins for them to send the part after “hey.” I’m not replying back without an inquiry. I’ve got work to do.
I don't bother responding to 'hey' messages either. Tell me what you need.
Yeah same here, if they don't say anything after "hey", then I'm not going to put in additional effort to get more work dumped on me
I don't really see a problem with that. Also it shouldn't vibrate if you're already in the chat. So that really isn't a problem since you usually see that the other person is typing and usually wait for them to send the message as long as they aren't taking too long.
and I do, because it doubles the amount of notifications I receive. if 5 people ask me something that way, I end up with 10 notifications, half of them being a pointless "hey". it's just plain inconsiderate.
I don't always immediately rush to check my phone when I get notified, not to mention that when the alerts are fired in a rapid sequence like that you often just don't have time to open the conversation before the next alert arrives.
Then you're slow. I almost always have the phone in my pocket
