Asynchronous best practices
• Only use private messages when you absolutely have to, e.g. for privacy, legal,
HR, or other reasons that make a discussion sensitive.
• NEVER EVER do this: “@ username can i ask you a question?” Just ask the question.
• When you respond to someone’s question in chat, unless it’s 30 seconds after
they asked, @ them by username
• Expect chat to be asynchronous, people will respond to you when they are able.
• Don’t stare at your chat client all day, it’s easy to fool yourself into thinking
replying to chats is the same as being productive.
