What's your solution to the "prolific contributor lives in Australia with spotty dialup" problem he's proposing though? I love Slack and yet
1. Hard cases make bad law 2. That problem exists in spades with email/irc, which are actually firehoses but pretend to be async
What I mean by that is that in practice momentum can build rapidly on email threads, and waking up to the end of one of those threads 1/
actually feels *worse* because at least on slack "let's wait for Sarah" is a thing that seems reasonable to say. Momentum is subtle. 2/2
Sending that message, Sarah got pinged and "had to" join the conversation. Slack creates expectations due to its synchronous/instant nature.
DND in Slack (et al) means (1) she isn't pinged; (2) people can see that right away. The problem is email pretends you can wait, 1/
but that isn't always true. Momentum builds, and email etiquette doesn't have a good (polite) way to halt the conversation for someone 2/
to chime in. 3/3
I am not seeing the impoliteness in asking in an email thread to wait for somebody to provide some input. Email has also the advantage of /1
it's not "impolite" it's not not normal and doesn't happen. Momentum builds uncontrollably.
