@eapl.me@eapl.me work messaging/interaction is different. They are talking about the rubbish that is Discord. Enterprise messaging is work. It is very important especially whilst working remote. While at work, I have customised notifications, and yes, I almost instantly reply to queries, whether on Teams, emails, or voice (unless, of course, otherwise engaged on something else, but I multitask quite well via chat).

Checking messages once a day, and replying hours later is completely unacceptable within my work environment. It also goes against my own work ethics.

weeeell… I used to run our studio on Discord at least 8 hours a day, and also giving my classes, about 10 hours a week on Discord. So yes, you can work there. And for me, it’s the same problem for leisure, open source projects, communities, etc.

And I think we have different ethics, and perhaps different responsabilities. Answering instantly as a boss, as a Dev, as a professor or as a friend, is not one of mine. Unless it’s truly an emergency where lives are in danger. But as usual I respect my friends deciding to do otherwise.
