Just to be clear, I'm not knocking Bootstrap, PHP, or other tech. I personally like them! I'm making a joke about how some devs always seem to complain about PHP, jQuery, Bootstrap, being "old" or "out of date" etc. (which I don't agree with at all)

Great Info! I personally prefer that if someone is reaching out to me to ask a question or a "wall of text" they do so immediatly, so I don't have to then wait again to get their question, but I agree with the overall sentiment of being mindful of the other person being busy so a "I know you are busy *wall of text*" or even just knowing that it takes time and not spam for an answer is great!

What surprised me is that I prefer when someone asks me a detailed question instead of just asking for me to help. Learning how to ask good questions is a good skill to have when working in a team. Yes, you should ask questions, but over time, try to learn how to ask questions that can get you the answer you seek.

100% That's what I prefer as well. If I have to respond and then wait for you to respond. Well, that's time lost. I can read the question and think about the answer before trying to construct a message.

@LoveLearnShareGrow Жыл бұрын

Yes, if it's in person, then say good morning and ask if I have a moment. If it's in an email or messaging app, then just ask the question! It's asynchronous! We don't have to be online at the same time!

@vagmi Жыл бұрын

Absolutely. I'd prefer a detailed message over a hi. Slack is meant for async communication. If it needs to be synchronous, block a time in the calendar or pull me in for a huddle. Synchronous chat is a waste of time.

@triphazard2906 Жыл бұрын

This is a great point. I am a junior and am always asking my colleagues for help. Before I come to them, I will spend time thinking about my problem and making sure that when I ask my question, it's accurate to what I need; not too general or too vague. Honestly, this can be tricky to do at times, but it helps me and my colleagues out.

Really dig this and I feel like not enough of dev talk online addresses these more real world things. Maybe cos the industry is oversaturated with men, or because the venn diagram of people who like to do talks and like only taking about the newest coolest tech is almost a circle But yeah this was very refreshing and I wish there was more content about the human side of working with code, from bringing up soft skills like this, to dealing with legacy code or maybe even talk on why the uber cool uber smart new way of doing something might not be good code in a real world project where cider changes hands and readibility 6 months down the line by a new inexperienced collegue is hugely important. Or about how much of good code is actually quality refinement of requirements and the many back and forths between various departments to plan it out.

Great video! As someone in game dev, all of this still very much applies. At over a decade at a large studio and I've seen maybe three engineers get let go for coding performance, but many many more for other reasons (often, interpersonal). Even for those three, it was still not *really* about that as much as just how much it costed their teams to support them over an extended period of time and not directly about their coding. Fundamentally, it's about if the team can be more productive with or without the person. And there's a lot more that goes into that than just coding.

I think getting the full question immediately is actually more efficient, as I can then deal with it when I have a free time slot of the appropriate size. Having to first ask the other person what they need (possibly also interrupting them while they're now working on something else already) always seems wasteful.

As for me, I prefer that people get directly to the point if they have a question for me, regardless if I'm busy or not, so this was my approach too when I have a question to other people, although I always preface it with "Whenever your available . . . ". I feel that that way, they don't have to respond immediately to me and they could just backread my message anytime and assess if it's something urgent or not. And I try my best not to sound annoying or entitled. But this is an eyeopener that some really prefer not having the question be dropped immediately on chats. I'll keep that in mind :)

@Bobronium Жыл бұрын

I quite dissagree with 3:22. Chat is asynchronous method of communication and doesn't require another person to respond immediatelly. On the other hand, when they will become available you might be busy to give more details. So I believe it's best to give all of the details that you think will be helpful to solve your problem.

@TheCoderCoder Жыл бұрын

great point! It is true, people may use chat differently and there might be different practices if there are employees across time zones too. I was mainly talking from experiences with coworkers who *did* expect a response immediately, and would repeatedly spam the DMs asking for your answer 😅

@tonyhtran Жыл бұрын

Imagine if you keep asking them “hey I got a quick question, whenever you have time” online without putting the question out there. The coworker will believe that you are annoying and a time waster as you don’t get straight to the point, thus willl see you as annoying.😮

I disagree with it too, don't ask to ask, that in itself is annoying But, still preface with "Hey, I know you're probably busy but I would love to have your input on this, whenever you can of course" in the same message as or in the message that precedes your request And when you ask for help, give all pertaining info! What you're doing and what you're trying to achieve, what the problem is and everything you've tried to fix it.

best way to consider those who are less technical is that it's not their core business to understand that particlar thing. But they have their own skills that you are not an expert of. I find my mentioning it's okay if this is not your core business, we'll figure it out tends to reduce the stress people have about technology and keep conversations useful and without fear. The mindset completely changes. Cheers.

IME, the sign of a good team environment is if someone new to the team is comfortable asking for ELI5 answers to questions without being treated like a nuisance when you're new, there are always so much team-specific jargon and acronyms that you have zero chance of understanding without someone giving you a quick explanation
